The CCBC/University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) partnership provides a dual admission opportunity for qualified nursing students who may apply to the option any time after successful completion of the first term of the CCBC Nursing Program. Admission guarantees matriculation to the UMSON’s RN to BSN Program upon completion of the CCBC A.S. Degree Nursing Program provided the student maintains at least a 3.0 GPA. Accepted students may choose to take some selected UMSON BSN courses free of tuition cost as a “special student” while in the CCBC Nursing Program. Time to complete the BSN varies based on when a student begins coursework and whether the A.S. degree graduate pursues full or part-time study at UMSON.

Current CCBC Nursing students are required to meet with their CCBC campus ATB Coordinator to determine eligibility for this option before they may apply.
