Prepare to become a nurse.

Notre Dame College and the Huron School of Nursing offer a three-year program that leads to an Associate of Science in Health Sciences degree and a nursing diploma. Graduates of this program are eligible to apply for the NCLEX – RN licensure examination.

This program includes day and evening/weekend options. During the first year, students take the required general education and science courses at Notre Dame College. In the first semester, students will apply for admission to the Huron School of Nursing. Prospective nursing students must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in their coursework for admission consideration to the Huron School of Nursing. However, because of increasing competition for admission, cumulative grade point averages of 3.25 or better will be given priority consideration.

In the second and third year of study, students attend both Notre Dame College and Huron School of Nursing. The nursing courses are all taught at the Huron School of Nursing and they include classroom and clinical components. The clinical experiences are offered through Huron, Hillcrest, Euclid, SouthPointe, and other Cleveland Clinic Health System hospitals and health care settings.
