The ribbon cutting ceremony finally arrived on Friday, Aug. 5 and no other entity was as excited or proud as North Carolina A&T State University. As one of the campus’ inaugural and pioneering tenants, along with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Guilford Technical Community College, and Cone Health, N.C. A&T will house its accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Registered Nurse-Bachelor of Science in Nursing Completion entry programs. |

existing Nursing facilities consisted of 48, 000 Sq. Ft.

($1,700) in 2013to house NC A&T Simulation Center and
Virtual leaning lab. NCA&T
average Nursing enrollment 2009-2013 was 119 students.
The NCA&T (Tenant) projected 105 enrollment at Union Square
constitute 88% of the average enrollment and 25,000 sq. ft.
lease constitute a 50% expansion for Nursing facilities, at
a time when the BOG was
considering
terminating the largest component of NCA&T’s BSN program - traditional nursing program. NCA&T will offer classes in this location for students in both its Accelerated Second Degree (ABSN - a program whereby individuals who already possess a bachelor's degree take an accelerated program to earn a degree in nursing) and RN-BSN (BSNC- those students who have already passed the nursing exam, but have not earned their bachelor's degree) programs. The Tuition in State for the ABSN and RN-BSN is $5420 (1 year) and RN-BSN is $3534 per year, neither program Tuition will cover the approximate $6000 per enrollee lease payment to Union Square.
