This degree program for registered nurses and other health care professionals provides the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree based on prior education in nursing, other health care training, and professional experience. Doane recognizes that the academic, clinical, and professional experiences of persons in the health care professions constitute the foundation for the bachelor of arts degree in health care. Documentation of in-service learning and professional practice, along with formal professional education, provides a sound basis for further work. Completion of degree requirements involves courses in the liberal arts and electives in areas of interest.
