Integrated Nursing Pathway Application

The application to the Integrated Pathway to Baccalaureate Nursing Education Program (Integrated Nursing Pathway) will be available from March 1 - May 1 each year. Please follow all instructions carefully so that your application can be processed effectively.

If you are NOT a current Community College of Aurora (CCA) student (have never applied or have not attended CCA in the last 12 months), click here to apply to the college. In the section marked “Intended Program of Study,” fill in AGS (Associate in General Studies). Once you have applied to CCA, you may follow the steps below.

If you are a current Community College of Aurora student, once you have reached college level readiness for MAT 121 and ENG 121 through ACCUPLACER or successful completion of General Education Courses, please attend a general information session.  It is a good idea to schedule an appointment with the Dean of Health Sciences during the semester before you apply to the Integrated Nursing Pathway.

If you have completed the prerequisites for the Integrated Nursing Pathway or will complete them by the end of the summer semester, you may begin the application process below.
