Nursing - Associate of Science Degree or Diploma

Are you a compassionate person who wants to join the fast-growing healthcare industry as a Registered Nurse? The Associate of Science degree in Nursing prepares you to sit for the NCLEX-RN. Upon successful passing of the examination, you will be qualified to work as a Registered Nurse (RN) in a hospital, medical office, nursing home, home health, ambulatory care site, and other health settings. You'll gain vital on-the-job skills through classroom instruction, practice labs, and clinical experience.

Eagle Gate College's Nursing program gives you the education you need to begin your nursing career with confidence. With the average graduation time of 24 months at our Layton, Utah campus or our Salt Lake City Learning Site, you'll quickly get out of the classroom and into the in-demand healthcare field.

Request Information

Eagle Gate College is approved by the Utah State Board of Nursing to offer the Associate of Science degree in Nursing.

Students successfully completing the program will meet the educational requirements for licensure and may then make application to sit for the Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) licensure examination*. The nursing program offered at Eagle Gate College has begun the process of obtaining accreditation from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

*Acceptance and successful progression through the nursing program does not ensure licensure eligibility. The Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) makes final determination on eligibility to sit for the NCLEX exams and issuance of a license to practice nursing. Any applicant who has been convicted of a felony, has a history of mental illness or drug abuse, should contact the Bureau Manager for Nursing at DOPL to discuss their eligibility to be licensed.
