What You’ll Learn

The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program at South College is designed to promote a strong academic and clinical foundation including the fundamental skills required of a nurse generalist, including the basics of medical care, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and technical competence required for taking required certification/licensure exams.

Nursing is a challenging field and the ASN program is designed to promote the development of aspects for being a key part of the healthcare team providing collaborative, interdisciplinary care, leading to better outcomes for patients. With classroom, laboratory, and clinical training from our experienced team of instructors, you work to gain the knowledge and skills that are most important in delivering superior patient care.

The 21 months of South College’s ASN program consist of general education/core prerequisite courses combined with the framework for the more advanced portions of the program. In the major nursing courses, students undertake a rigorous schedule with approximately 20 hours of in-class time per week.

To deliver the highest-quality education, we use tools such as case studies, presentations, Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) resources, and other creative teaching approaches.
