Program Overview

Introduction to the Collaborative Nursing Program

The UWM School of Nursing and the MATC School of Health Sciences offer collaborative programs that lead to both the associate degree (ADN) and the baccalaureate degree in nursing (BS-Nursing). There are two options available to students:

• ADN to BSN Program
• The 3+1 Program

Program Structure

Students in the 3+1 Program complete their first three years of education at MATC. During this time, they enroll in courses at MATC that meet the program requirements of the baccalaureate nursing program at UWM. By taking courses that meet the requirements of both schools, students can complete both an associate degree and a baccalaureate degree in four years.

Course Completion

• Students complete pre-requisite courses during their first year at MATC.
• Students complete the nursing program courses during their second and third years at MATC.
• Students enroll in advanced nursing courses at UWM in the fourth year of the program.

Accommodations for Working Students

The fourth-year classes at UWM are scheduled to meet the needs of students who are working during this last year of the program.
