  2. Introduction • Hagerstown Community College is working toward the Institute of Medicine's recommendation that by 2020 80% of nursing will hold a Bachelor of Science (BSN) degree. By instituting an accelerated two-year pathway to the Associate Degree (ADN), students are accepted into the accelerated pathway, allowing students to complete the program in two calendar years and then transition into a BSN program.

  3. Introduction (Continued) • These students are completing the prerequisite ADN nursing courses concurrently. Project objectives include recruitment, advisement, instructional support services and transfer assistance. With most nursing students currently needing three years to complete an ADN program, the new pathway constitutes a fundamental change, leading students more expeditiously to the BSN.
