Wor-Wic Community College ADN-RN Nursing Program Prerequisites & Reviews.

Nursing Program

There are two major Associate Degree in Nursing Programs at Wor-Wic Community College.

Although these programs you’ll take a variety of classes including adult nursing, psychiatric nursing, advanced nursing, nursing fundamentals, and issues in nursing.

The associate of science degree program is an approved nursing education program for people with a practical nursing education. It is designed to equip graduates for jobs as registered nurses (RNs). The graduates that pass the examination in Maryland for a license as RNs can offer nursing care in a range of settings, where they may also provide direction to others in the aspect of technical nursing. The associate of science degree program develops the practical nursing program.

The program is endorsed as part of Maryland’s state-wide RN to BSN articulation agreement. Graduates are awarded up to 70 credit hours of express transfer credit for their Wor-Wic course work when they register in one of the BSN programs at the University of Maryland system.

About The School

Wor–Wic Community College is a 2-year college located in Salisbury in the Eastern region of Maryland. The college offers both credit and continuing education programs. The name is an encapsulation of Maryland’s Worcester and Wicomico Counties.

It was established in 1975 and functioned as a “college without walls” for 20 years in the two counties before settling in Salisbury. In the Fall 2011 semester, there were about 4,000 students enrolled in credit courses and over 2,300 students enrolled in non-credit courses.

Wor-Wic is known with students who intend on transferring to Salisbury University due to its inexpensive tuition, proximity, and the resemblance of its general education courses to those from Salisbury University. Wor-Wic stopped offering a General Equivalency Diploma program in 2011, as a result of budget constraints.

The total tuition cost for In County residents is about $7,632.00, Out-of-County       $17,064.00 while Out-of-State residents are expected to spend around $21,024.00
