Nursing

Graduate with two bachelor’s degrees, fully prepared for a rewarding career in nursing. Christopher Newport and Riverside College of Health Sciences (RCHS), a leading hospital system in Hampton Roads, partnered to offer a 3+2 program. Attend CNU for three years and then RCHS for two years, earning a BA in Biology from CNU and a BSN from RCHS.

The dual-degree program paves the way for you to reach your career goals by melding two different and dynamic college experiences: three years at a liberal arts university and two at a premier hospital-based college of health sciences on nearby campuses, both in Newport News.

Riverside intends to immediately offer employment to graduates of the program who meet all other qualifications.
