Associate Degree to Baccalaureate Nursing Degree: Dual Enrollment in an Asynchronous Online Program.

Background: Without formal collaboration with community colleges, a summer dual enrollment program was designed for associate degree in nursing (ADN) students to complete asynchronous online baccalaureate nursing (BSN) courses. The program aimed to reduce the time for BSN degree completion and increase the proportion and diversity of BSN nurses.

Method: Students enrolled in BSN courses during their ADN program completed up to seven courses during three summers, with seamless matriculation into the BSN program.
