A great career in healthcare starts here.

Pre-Nursing

A nursing degree that starts at Simpson College offers you the best of both worlds.

Before finishing your degree at Allen College of Nursing in Waterloo, Iowa or Mercy College of Nursing in Des Moines, Iowa, you will benefit from the engaged faculty and all the opportunities a small, liberal arts school offers.

With the 3+1 nursing program, you will complete a Biology or Health and Exercise Science major in three years, along with Simpson’s general education requirements and the nursing pre-requisites required for acceptance.

Upon acceptance into Allen College or Mercy College, you will begin their 1-year accelerated nursing program.

When finished, you will receive a Bachelor’s degree from Simpson and a B.S.N. from Allen College or Mercy College.
