Nursing Online Option
Each fall, NMC offers an online version of its traditional nursing curriculum, designed for full-time ADN students like you. This option lets you complete all your nursing theory and academic classes online, making it easier to fit into your schedule.
You’ll still need to attend in person for lab and clinical courses, typically held in the Traverse City area. These hands-on sessions are usually scheduled 2–3 days per week, giving you the flexibility to manage both online learning and in-person training.
Once you begin the online option, the college will ensure that the online courses will be available until you complete the program as long as the full-time model schedule is followed.
If you need to change from the full-time plan or your studies get out of sequence for any reason, you will need to move into the traditional program.
NMC is a participating member of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). For further information on SARA and state licensure, visit NMC's SARA page.
NMC nursing programs are approved by the Michigan Board of Nursing.
