Nursing Partnership Programs

Nursing Partnership Programs

Hanover College and Ivy Tech-Madison have united to launch Indiana’s first “1+2+1” nursing program. The unique academic track combines the strengths of both institutions to create a pathway for students to earn associate (ASN) and bachelor’s degrees (BSN) in a four-year period.

Students will be enrolled at Hanover and live on campus all four years, but will take their second- and third-year clinical nursing courses at Ivy Tech’s nearby Madison, Ind., campus. Students will earn an associate degree in nursing from Ivy Tech and take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) at the end of their third year to become a registered nurse. In the fourth year, students would return to courses on Hanover’s campus to earn a post-licensure bachelor’s degree in nursing.

Whether taking classes at Hanover or Ivy Tech, these students will be eligible to participate in all aspects of campus life at Hanover. This includesintercollegiate athletics, performing and visual arts,Greek life, student government,clubsand much more.

In their first year, Hanover pre-nursing students will take core requirements with other first-year students. These courses would also include pre-requisites for Ivy Tech’s ASN program such as a first-year writing course, entry-level anatomy and physiology, and introduction to psychology.
