Lehigh Carbon Community College and York College of Pennsylvania have entered into a transfer agreement that will benefit students pursuing their degree in nursing. This partnership allows students who have earned their associate degree in nursing from LCCC to transfer seamlessly into York College’s online Registered Nurse to Bachelors of Science in Nursing program. York College offers admission to the online RN to BSN program for all students at LCCC who graduate with a GPA above 2.0 and have their RN license.
The online program allows nurses the opportunity and flexibility to complete their bachelor’s degree in as little as 12 months after receiving their associate degree. York will accept the full 72 credits in nursing courses, as well as up to 90 total credits to fulfill the non-nursing course requirements for the BSN. In addition, LCCC graduates transferring under this agreement will be charged a discounted rate of $330 per credit hour for nursing coursework at York, a discount from the regular rate of $575 per credit hour. Family members of LCCC employees are also eligible for this discount.
