The Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a collaborative, dual-enrollment program between TV and community college partners that facilitates seamless academic progression to a BSN degree.

Students must be enrolled in the ADN program at their community college and successfully complete the first and second ADN semesters before starting the first TV summer session. Collaborative program students who successfully meet the TV program requirements can apply and be matriculated into TV upon graduation from the ADN. This collaboration enables the ADN student to earn a BSN degree in 2 semesters after graduating from their community college.
