Nursing - Welcome

If you're caring, responsible and detail-oriented, you've got the foundation for a career in nursing. At EAC, you can get the education and training you need too! We've been training in the nursing field for over 30 years.

We offer four programs in nursing. Our two certificate programs (Nursing Assistant and Licensed Practical Nurse) give you the essentials you need to enter the field quickly. Our Associate of Applied Science degree goes more in-depth, but emphasis is still on entering the workforce after your training. The final program is an Associate of Arts degree in Nursing, a foundation for transferring to a four-year college to earn your bachelor’s degree.
