Programs of Study in Health Related Sciences
QCC/Hunter Dual/Joint Degree Program: A.A.S. in Nursing (QCC)
Leading to the B.S. in Nursing (Hunter College)*
Clinical students in NU 101 may apply for the Dual/joint
Degree Program in Nursing with Hunter College. Admission
to the program is extremely competitive and will be based
on the student’s GPA and overall academic work. A student
must receive a faculty recommendation indicating a strong
clinical performance in NU-101. In addition to the courses
required for their A.A.S. degree, students will be encouraged
to complete additional liberal arts, science, and humanities
courses that can be applied to the B.S. degree. Students will
be guided in the selection of these courses by an advisor to
maximize the courses that meet the general education, as
well as the pluralism and diversity, graduation requirements
for Hunter College and the HBSON, thereby avoiding potential
repetition of credits.
