RN to BSN
Frederick Community College participates in the Maryland Articulation Model that was revised in fall 2003. A maximum of 70 non-nursing credits will be accepted. Transfer of nursing credits will not be necessary as 30 upper division nursing credits will awarded by the baccalaureate institution based on a valid unencumbered Maryland nursing license.
ATB Dual Admission RN-to-BSN Option
The ATB/dual-admission option is a selective, dual degree admission option that requires application to the FCC's Associate of Science Nursing Program and a separate application to an ATB university partner. The ATB Option provides an opportunity to begin coursework for the B.S. degree at one of three participating universities -- Frostburg State University, Towson University, or the University of Maryland School of Nursing -- while enrolled in the FCC A.S. Degree Nursing Program. This reduces time for completion of the B.S. degree to approximately two to three additional terms following completion of the A.S. degree.
