Degree Programs
Eastern Arizona College - ASU Baccalaureate Nursing Program
The Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) is a partnership between Eastern Arizona College (EAC) and Arizona State University (ASU) which allows nursing students the opportunity to complete their Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing EAC while simultaneously completing their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) through ASU. Beginning each spring, CEP students take EAC courses on-site at EAC's Thatcher campus and ASU nursing coursework via iCourses (online courses). This program offers a time efficient and cost effective pathway to the BSN. Upon completion, students will graduate with their Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from the community college and with their BSN from ASU.
Program Highlights
- Convenience of taking ASU courses online.
- Special, reduced tuition rates for the EAC students.
