The Associate in General Education (AGE)-Nursing is designed for students who wish to begin their study toward an Associate in Nursing degree and a Baccalaureate degree in Nursing.

A student who completes an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing with a GPA of at least 2.0 and a grade of C or better in the AGE-Nursing courses and who holds a current unrestricted license as a Registered Nurse in North Carolina will have fulfilled the UNC institutions lower-division general education requirements as well as nursing program entry requirements. However, because nursing program admissions are competitive, no student is guaranteed admission to the program of his or her choice.

Note: Individual UNC RN to BSN nursing programs may require a maximum of two courses totaling no more than six credits to meet school specific degree requirements that are not a part of the RN to BSN Articulation Agreement. In no case will these additional requirements necessitate completing more than 128 credits in order to earn a BSN. Each UNC RN to BSN institution will develop, publish, and maintain on their website a RN to BSN degree plan that identifies specific degree requirements that are not part of the RN to BSN AA.

For additional information about Blocks 4 and 5 (which contain nursing courses) of the Five Block Degree Plan located within the Uniform Articulation Agreement between the University of North Carolina RN to BSN please visit: http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/academic-programs/college-transferarticulation-agreements/uniform-articulation-agreement-rn-bsn
