Nashville State-Belmont Partnership Program
Through this partnership, Nashville State Community College (NSCC) students who are accepted into the program will earn their Associate of Science degree at NSCC. They will then transfer to Belmont University, where all of their credits from NSCC will apply towards a Bachelor's of Science degree in Nursing.
NSCC students apply for the program during their sophomore year. 16 students will be officially accepted following the successful completion of the Associate's degree. Representatives from NSCC and Belmont will select the 16 students accepted into the program.
