AUASON operates on a trimester academic calendar, with classes beginning in September, January and May. The six-trimester Associate of Science of Nursing Degree (ASN), offered on our campus in Antigua, can be completed in only two years. Upon successful completion of the ASN program*, graduates will be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX®-RN), granting them entrance into the CUNY Lehman one-year RN to BS in nursing program (*total of 90 transferable credits is required).
