The Associate in Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP Degree prepares students to transfer to an entry-to practice baccalaureate degree program in Nursing (BSN) and meets pre-requisite course requirements for entry into an Associate in Nursing Degree DTA/MRP program at community colleges in Washington. Students are encouraged to continue their education in a BSN program after completing the Associate in Nursing DTA/MRP degree at LCC.
The Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP is applicable to other pre-healthcare programs such as dental hygiene or radiography technician. Please consult with the transfer institution and your academic advisor.
This degree includes pre-requisite coursework for pre-licensure BSN programs at participating baccalaureate institutions, which include University of Washington, Washington State University, Pacific Lutheran University, Seattle Pacific University, Seattle University, and Walla Walla University. Additional institutions may accept this degree. Each institution may have specific requirements. Students must contact the potential transfer institution and work closely with their advisor to ensure specific requirements are met. Students completing this degree who have also met any specific institutional requirements will be regarded as having the minimum preparation for consideration for admission to the institution's Bachelor of Science Nursing program.
