Nursing programs at Andrews University
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) and doctoral degree in nursing (DNP). Recent annual completions came to about 15 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates and about 7 doctoral-level nursing graduates. A bachelor’s program is the traditional four-year route to RN licensure and the usual starting point for later graduate study; see our ADN vs. BSN guide if you are still deciding on a degree level. The DNP option is aimed at licensed nurses pursuing the highest level of clinical practice. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $36,500 a year. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $29,200 a year. About 32% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Federal earnings data puts median pay for bachelor’s-level nursing graduates at roughly $79,100 one year after finishing, an estimate based on graduates with reported earnings. Schoolwide, about 71% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 83% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 82% overall), but that does not mean a nursing seat is guaranteed. Admission to the nursing major or program is often a separate, competitive step with prerequisites, minimum grades, and capped enrollment. Check deadlines with the nursing department, and read our nursing school requirements guide to prepare. To work as a nurse in Michigan, graduates apply for a license with the state board of nursing in Michigan and pass the NCLEX. Before you commit, verify the program’s ACEN or CCNE accreditation and state approval, and compare it with other options on our Michigan nursing schools page.
