How It Works

Step 1: Submit Application

Apply to the Nursing Associate Degree program. When prompted, choose “I’m a Paramedic.”

Step 2: Submit High School Transcript

Must include graduation date (month, day, year).

Step 3: Submit Post-Secondary Transcripts for Transfer Evaluation

• In order to graduate with an Associate Degree at NTC, students are required to take 25% of the core program credits (10 credits in 10-543-XXX courses) and 25% of the overall program credits (18 credits) through graded coursework at NTC.
• Transfer evaluation may take 4-6 weeks.

Step 4: Meet with your Academic Advisor

You will be required to submit proof of the following, once you’ve met admission requirements:

Step 5: Enrollment in Paramedic to ADN Theory Courses
