Prepare for a BSN Program

South Seattle College’s Pre‑Nursing pathway meets Associate in Arts degree requirements and prepares you to transfer at the junior level into a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. You’ll complete science and general education courses while exploring healthcare careers in hospitals, clinics, long‑term care, and community settings. Students on this track are not eligible for the NCLEX until completing their BSN, and those seeking direct RN licensure after an associate degree should consult an advisor about the Associate in Nursing Direct Transfer Degree/Major Related Program (AN DTA/MRP).
