2 Stage Associate Degree in Nursing
Unitek College's multiple entry program builds on our 11-month VN program with our 9-month accelerated ADN transition program. Successful completion of both programs leads to an Associate Degree in Nursing. For convenience of our students, Unitek College now offers both of these programs together as a package.
