Dual Enrollment
Mennonite College of Nursing is proud to offer dual enrollment for nursing students working on their associate's degree in nursing at one of our strategic partner colleges.

Reaching Higher with Academic Progression
The Institute of Medicine set the goal of an 80% BSN-prepared nursing workforce by 2020. Dual enrollment positions partner school nursing graduates ahead of their peers while searching for jobs and prepares them to continue on to a master’s degree or other areas of advanced practice nursing.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for registered nurses are expected to increase by 26 percent over the course of this decade.
