Lakeland University partners with Alverno College in Milwaukee to offer students an opportunity to complete preparatory coursework to qualify and apply for admission for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Alverno.

Lakeland students complete their general education and designated pre-nursing curriculum in order to meet prerequisite/admission course requirements at Alverno.

In completing these requirements, students fulfill all the requirements to earn an Associate of Science degree (A.S.) from Lakeland University.
