In 1993, the\u00a0Associate Degree\u00a0Nursing (ADN) program was launched. Initially, cohorts alternated between 40 and 50 students, and the program was structured as a four-semester sequence with approximately 40 units of prerequisite coursework and\u00a0additional\u00a0co-requisites.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For several years, the program admitted 26 LVN-to-RN students and 40 ADN students each fall, with graduates completing requirements each May. In 1999, the ADN program expanded to 60 students annually, and later briefly increased to 70 students in 2006 due to state funding.
