INTRODUCTION

The Maricopa Nursing/Northern Arizona University (NAU) Concurrent Enrollment Associate

Degree/Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Program is designed for qualified associate degree nursing students who

are interested in earning their Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree while pursuing their associate’s

degree in nursing.

The Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) allows students to pursue an Associate of Applied Science (AAS)

degree in nursing while providing an affordable course of study. When followed in sequence, this program

enables students to complete their BSN degree concurrently in the same semester as graduating with their AAS

degree, or in one semester after. For students who will be completing their BSN following completion of their

AAS, successful completion of the NCLEX and licensure as a RN is required for enrollment into their final BSN

requirements.

Students enrolled in the CEP will follow the traditional course of study for all Maricopa Nursing students pursuing

their AAS degree in nursing, but at the same time they will also be enrolled in required NAU nursing courses.

Because NAU courses are taken online or in hybrid format, all courses will be offered in the greater Phoenix area.

BSN-prepared nurses are highly valued by potential employers, and Maricopa Nursing/NAU CEP graduates

are equipped with the knowledge and skills to begin their nursing career with a degree that will promote

professional knowledge and advancement.
