Empower Your Future: Discover Nursing Pathway
The A.A. Nursing pathway prepares students to apply to LSSC’s A.S. Nursing (RN) program (and later the College’s RN-BSN program) or transfer directly to a BSN program at a state university.
Students who seek an A.S. Nursing (RN) from Lake-Sumter State College should enroll in this program to complete prerequisite courses prior to applying to the ASN program.
The A.A. degree also prepares students for transfer as juniors to a Florida public university; however, students need to be aware of specific courses required for acceptance into most majors. With careful selection, these courses may be used as either general education requirements or as electives. The A.A. degree guarantees admission to a Florida public university but not necessarily to an upper division, limited access program, which may have additional requirements.
