An associate’s degree in nursing (ADN) can open more doors for you, and The College Network, Inc. can help this happen. Over 150,000 busy adults like you have relied on The College Network for their educational solutions. Learn how convenient and affordable earning your associate’s degree can be.
While The College Network is not a school, it has developed its Comprehensive Learning Module program to prepare you to earn college credit by passing credit-by-examination exams such as CLEP®, DSST®, and the Excelsior College® Examination. Credits awarded by these credit-by-examination programs may be applied toward Excelsior College’s associate’s degree in nursing, which is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). Final acceptance of credits rests with Excelsior College®.
Why The College Network? Life happens and busy nurses like you are working hard to get the most out of it. However, working full-time makes going back to a traditional classroom setting impractical—not to mention the cost of tuition, books, transportation, and everything else. As an LPN/LVN, there is a way you can earn your associate’s degree in nursing and become a registered nurse while balancing your personal and professional time. The College Network offers learners the convenience of studying at an independent pace, from the comfort of their homes, and for a fraction of the cost of a traditional campus-based program. You can earn your ADN and become an RN in as little as 24–36 months.
Our educational materials are developed by professors from leading universities. We guarantee your academic success and financing, including credit-by-examination test fees, for the The College Network portion of the program.
The degree granting institution is MACS and NLNAC accredited.
