HCC's renown nursing education program offers convenient programming options to help students meet a critical workforce need in our region. The traditional associate degree nursing program provides day and evening/weekend class options in the fall, and day-only classes in the spring semesters; the clinical component lasts for two years. There is also a competitive admission accelerated associate degree program requiring continuous study to complete all required clinical coursework within 14 months; this is a full-time, daytime-only program, beginning only in the summer.
