Nursing Programs (NU, NAS, and PN)

(Selective)

MWCC offers multiple Nursing program options: the Nursing Degree (NU) degree program, the Advanced Standing/Bridge Bridge (NAS) degree program (for current licensed LPNs), and the Practical Nursing (PN) certificate. These programs are located at the MWCC Gardner Campus. Prior to the start of classes, students who are accepted into a nursing program will be required to attend a mandatory orientation/welcome session and will need to purchase uniforms and equipment. 

Applications will be reviewed and candidates will be notified of the admissions decision by mail approximately 60 days after the deadline. The college may return applications received after the deadline without review. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Candidates applying to a selective NU/NAS/PN program must attend a mandatory selective program information session prior to the NU/NAS/PN admissions deadline and before submitting their NU/NAS/PN application. All candidates must review the full application for admission which includes the minimum requirements and can be found by visiting: https://mwcc.edu/apply.
