The Nursing Program provides quality nursing education in a culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse setting which encourages positive teaching and learning experiences. The Angelina College Nursing program is designed to permit students to enter as a beginning student or LVN and to exit with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. The program provides pre-licensure nursing education for the associate degree level on the Lufkin campus.
We offer a multiple entry/exit program (MEEP) for students enrolled in the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program.

Upon ADN completion, students qualify to take the NCLEX-RN Licensing Exam.
