Articulation Agreements
Many of our articulation agreements allow you to receive two bachelor's degrees from two academic institutions simultaneously within four or five years of study. The first three years of study would be spent fulfilling the general education core curriculum and doing advanced course work in biology or another designated major, at one of the articulation schools in order to complete the prerequisites for entrance into the nursing program at Johns Hopkins University. The last year or two of study would be spent fulfilling the nursing requirements at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Upon completion of the four or five years, the student will receive a bachelor's degree from both institutions. Students who apply for admission through an articulation agreement may also pursue the Direct Entry to Combined BS to MSN option for students who wish to continue with a graduate degree upon completion of the bachelor's degree in nursing. Students may also transfer to the Johns Hopkins University, School of Nursing after the sophomore year and the completion of the 60 semester hour prerequisite courses.
