Nursing programs at Polytech Adult Education
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma level. In the most recent reporting year, the school reported about 42 practical nursing completers. A practical nursing credential is the shortest route to licensed work; our LPN vs. RN guide covers how it differs from the registered nurse path. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.
Cost and student outcomes
About 3% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Federal debt and earnings figures for nursing graduates at this school are limited or suppressed for privacy, so ask the nursing department for current outcomes. Schoolwide, about 93% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 100% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, which is typical of open-access colleges. Nursing programs usually add their own steps, such as prerequisite science courses, an entrance exam, a minimum GPA, and a limited number of seats, so contact the nursing department about current requirements. Our guide on how to get into nursing school walks through the typical process. Licensure runs through the state board of nursing in Delaware, and graduates sit for the NCLEX. Confirm that the specific program holds ACEN or CCNE accreditation and is approved by the state before you enroll. Compare other schools on our nursing schools in Delaware page.
