 ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE
DEGREE
Our Lady of the Lake College offers the
Accelerated Associate of Science in Nursing Degree Program

administration partially subsidizes students’ expenses in exchange for
signing a contract of employment upon graduating. The
Accelerated ASN Program is an intense two semester program that was created
to provide an avenue into the nursing profession for students who have
earned a non nursing baccalaureate degree. The program was originated
in 2003 and is approved by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing.
Graduates
attain the Associate of Science Degree in Nursing and are prepared to
write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
