Students who complete their associate degree in nursing from Lehigh Carbon Community College will have an additional option to continue their pathway to a bachelor’s degree through an agreement with Alvernia University.
LCCC and Alvernia have supplemented a recent dual admissions agreement to create full transfer of credits, allowing LCCC Nursing graduates to transfer to Alvernia University’s RN to BSN online program to complete their bachelor’s of science in nursing degree.
A private university with campus locations in Reading, Pottsville, and Philadelphia, Alvernia offers the RN to BSN completion program completely online, accepts up to 90 credits for transfer and is competitively priced at $400/credit.
Alvernia’s Pottsville CollegeTowne location is located near LCCC’s Tamaqua site, allowing Tamaqua students to easily access campus resources if needed. The LCCC Tamaqua site offers a state-of-the-art nursing simulation center in its Scheller Center near Tamaqua’s city center.
In addition to the RN-BSN Nursing program, LCCC students will be guaranteed admission with junior year status at Alvernia after they have completed their appropriate Associate in Arts Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science degree. Information about the transfer program can be found on LCCC”s transfer webpage.
