Program Description
LLU School of Nursing is proud to announce a new partnership with Mount San Jacinto College (MSJC). This partnership offers nursing students a faster pathway to complete a B.S. in Nursing Degree. This program is 100% online and structured to accommodate students full- or part-time. Students will also take courses at LLU during the Summer.
MSJC provides the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) curriculum while LLUSN provides the RN to BS completion degree curriculum. The RN to BS track is designed for nurses who are looking to further their education and advance their professional careers.
Students will graduate from Loma Linda University School of Nursing with a deepened understanding of whole person care, be able to investigate new areas of professional interest, as well as enhance their personal and professional growth.
Students will need to maintain MSJC’s academy standard for the ADN program in order to continue to qualify for LLUSN RN to BS Concurrent Enrollment. If a student fails to maintain academic standard and withdraws from MSJC’s program, they will be automatically withdrawn from LLUSN.
