Associate in General Education in Nursing

Long Term

The Associate in General Education (AGE) in Nursing is designed for students who wish to begin their study toward an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and a Baccalaureate degree in Nursing as based on the Uniform Articulation Agreement between the University of North Carolina's Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs and the North Carolina Community College Associate Degree Nursing Programs which was approved by the State Board of Community Colleges and the UNC Board of Governors in February 2015. The AGE-Nursing program of study consists of a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit courses.

A student who completes an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing with a GPA of at least 2.0 and a grade of C or better in the AGE-Nursing courses and who holds a current unrestricted license as a Registered Nurse in North Carolina will have fulfilled the UNC institutions lower-division general education requirements as well as nursing program entry requirements. However, because nursing program admissions are competitive, no student is guaranteed admission to the program of his or her choice.

“Nursing is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but by far the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I really enjoy being a nurse and I can’t imagine doing anything else. This program at Durham Tech is creating a large stepping stone for me and creating additional opportunities to advance my career as an RN.”
