2-2-1 Pathway to Nursing
Degrees on the way to Your BSN
Enjoy affordable tuition while preparing to enter an in-demand nursing career.
Through the collaboration between UW-Green Bay and Lakeshore Technical College (LTC), you can earn 3 degrees in as little as 5 years. During your first two years, you'll earn an associate degree at UW-Green Bay. Then, you'll complete a Nursing-Associate degree at LTC, and finish your BSN online with our RN-BSN program.
How it Works
Because of the collaboration between UW-Green Bay and LTC, we offer a seamless transition between both colleges.
Years 1 & 2
Earn your Associate of Arts & Sciences Degree at either our Manitowoc campus or Sheboygan campus.
Years 3 & 4
In Years 3 & 4, you'll attend LTC and earn your Nursing-Associate Degree. Upon completing your coursework, you'll be prepared to take the RN-NCLEX exam, the same exam taken by students who earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After passing the exam, you can begin working as an RN.
Final Year
Finish your Bachelor of Science in Nursing at UW-Green Bay! Year 4 features asynchronous online courses with an onsite community health practicum arranged at an agency in your area. Our expert faculty will arrange your practicum site based on your preferences.

Associate Degree

Nursing-Associate at LTC
Because tuition at Lakeshore Technical College is lower than four-year universities, the 2-2-1 program offers a more accessible way to earn your BSN.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
In your final year, you'll pay BSN rates. If you're working as an RN, you can also check with your employer about tuition reimbursement.
