Nursing (MANE): Traditional (RN) Track or LPN to RN Track
Program Information
Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC), along with other nursing programs in the Minnesota State System, is in the process of transitioning out of the Minnesota Alliance for Nursing Education (MANE) alliance. Campuses that were formerly part of the MANE program will offer a nursing program tailored for their respective campus. This includes a separate application form and process for each college. Nursing Admissions Notice
The nursing program at ARCC will continue to prepare graduates to provide care to individuals, families, and communities in health promotion, acute and chronic illness, and at the end of life. We will continue to offer a nursing program that leverages evidence-based, innovative practices to produce knowledgeable, diverse, and skilled nursing graduates.
The Dual Admission nursing program at ARCC remains designed to be completed in as little as four years of full-time study. Successful completion of five semesters leads to the option for an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing offered by Anoka-Ramsey Community College and eligibility to take the NCLEX RN licensure examination. Nursing students may then continue for three additional semesters leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing (BSN) offered by Metropolitan State University or Minnesota State University Moorhead. Nursing courses at ARCC are offered daytime only during the spring and fall semester.

New and improved space for the nursing program on Coon Rapids and Cambridge Campuses
We are pleased to announce completion of the modernization and expansion of the Nursing and Business building on the Coon Rapids Campus. In addition, enlargement and expansion of the Nursing classrooms, labs, and simulation spaces are also completed on the Cambridge Campus. The construction enables the nursing curriculum to be supported by the physical spaces needed to educate contemporary Nursing students to meet the needs of the ever-expanding workforce. This includes an emphasis on the importance of simulation (SIM) labs. The optimized physical spaces allow more active learning of skills and the application of nursing theory that are needed to be successful in the health care industry. Aligning simulation spaces with practicum environments and hands-on learning labs in a contiguous area will enhance learning efficiencies and effectiveness.
We look forward to serving students with the remodeled Nursing spaces in an environment that supports active learning in the classroom and hands-on skills and simulation experiences in state-of-the -art facilities.
