Nursing - Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP)
The Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) is a partnership between Upper Iowa University and select Associate Degree prelicensure programs that allows qualifying students to enroll in both programs concurrently. The CEP allows students to enroll in specific BSN courses while concurrently enrolled in the Associate Degree in Nursing program, decreasing both time and cost to completion of the BSN. Applicants must complete the combined admission requirements and be accepted by the partnering Associate Degree program before applying to the Upper Iowa University CEP. NUR 301 - Logic and Reasoning in Nursing is a requirement for all concurrent enrollment program (CEP) nursing students unless they have earned a prior bachelor’s degree or have successfully completed an approved equivalent course. While enrolled in the CEP, students must follow the designated plan of progression and remain in good standing with both institutions at all times. For more information about the CEP program, students can contact a partnering institution or the Upper Iowa University Department of Nursing.
