Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing Science (B.S.)
The Bachelor of Science degree in nursing science is offered by the University of Alaska Anchorage in cooperation with UAF Community & Technical College.
Both schools work together to administer the program locally in Fairbanks. The program consists of three semesters of pre-requisites followed by five trimesters of nursing courses which begin in September of the academic year.
The academic program provides students with a closely related mix of theory and clinical practice. Classrooms and learning laboratories are furnished with equipment found in hospital and clinical settings to give students a realistic and hands-on experience.
Pre-Nursing Qualifications Certificate (Cert.)
The certificate in pre-nursing qualifications is designed to guide students preparing to apply to the University of Alaska Anchorage Bachelor of Science in nursing. Before applying to the UAA BS program in nursing, students must complete a pre-admission nursing exam and are strongly encouraged to work in a clinical practice.
The certificate includes all of the prerequisite and co-requisite courses in addition to a clinical course required for the UAA nursing program. Admission to the UAA nursing program is competitive. While this certificate prepares you to be highly qualified, it does not guarantee your admission to the UAA nursing program.
Students should work closely with an advisor while completing this certificate and preparing an application for admission to the nursing program.
