Students may earn a bachelor’s degree from Washington College and a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing from the University of Maryland School of Nursing or the University of Delaware College of Health Sciences. This dual degree program requires five years of study. The first three years are spent at Washington College fulfilling the general education requirements, requirements for a major, and the prerequisites for entrance into the school of nursing. For students applying through the articulation agreements, the schools prefer that the prerequisites courses are taken at Washington College. Because of the shortened period of time at Washington College and the prerequisites in biology, students will usually major in biology or psychology, although another major is possible with departmental approval. At the University of Maryland students enter the “Traditional Baccalaureate Program,“ which takes two years, and students opting for Delaware enter the “Accelerated Degree Nursing Program,“ which is completed in 17 month. These nursing programs recommend that students participate in a nursing internship program. Students may speak with the 3:2 Nursing Advisor for information about internship opportunities. Students successfully completing the first year of the nursing program will have satisfied the requirements for a bachelor’s degree from Washington College. To be eligible for graduation from Washington College, students must see that the Registrar at Washington College receives their transcripts from the University of Delaware or University of Maryland by the appropriate graduation deadline. In their first year at the nursing school students must plan to carry sufficient credits to satisfy the graduate requirement of Washington College.
