American University of Antigua proudly announces that as part of its continuing effort to expand educational opportunities in the Health Care field and to help alleviate the global nursing shortage it will be opening a School of Nursing. The AUA School of Nursing has entered into an affiliation with the City University of New York (CUNY) Lehman Division of Adult and Continuing Education.

CUNY Lehman will offer the Nursing graduates from AUA a one year program, RN to B.S. in Nursing once they have completed 90 transferable credits (from an accredited college or university and must be the equivalent of “C” or better grade) in classes including: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology and who have completed their RN training at AUA, and who qualify as a result of passing the NCLEX.

This affiliation provides Graduates of the AUA RN Associate’s Degree program eligibility to participate in a one year CUNY Lehman RN to B.S. program. Upon successful completion of the program, students will graduate from CUNY Lehman College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.

Dr. L. M., AUA Vice President for University Development will be leading AUA’s move into nursing education and will be developing other healthcare related programs as we continue to become a leader in educating healthcare professionals.


From the Office of the President of AUA

I find this an interesting development. Starting a nursing school is good in terms of AUA building a interdisciplinary medical university. Are there any plans for having a pharm school in the future?

where are going to put these students? hopefully they don't start the nursing school until the new campus is completed. also, what about the vet school i keep hearing about?

I haven't heard anything about a pharm program. AUA's relationship with Tuskeegee Vet School has been around for quite a while. (longer than I've been here) Not sure when it will come to fruition. You'll know when I know. Or at least when they announce it officially.

I wouldn't expect an incoming Nursing class too soon showing up in Antigua. But who knows? If they are coming Mr. G would have to make it happen.

Took me a second...thought you were Tupac...that's what I get for eating Reese's peanut butter cups for lunch.

We'll see what happens with our Self-Assessment Report...etc.

I have been looking around for different nursing schools applied here & there. But as they only have 50 slots or even less I never seem to have the highest GPA. Of course not. I had no dreams in high school so sadly I didn't put out my best effort. Woulds coulda shoulda. Anywho I was wondering when they are going to start this program & what the requirements are to get in? Like do I need to have a certain amount of classes already in bio, chemistry, anatomy, ect? If so then I'd like to get those under way now so I can get in. Also what is the housing situation over there like? I would need at least 2 BR for me & my family & what kind of jobs are available if any? I here its hard to get jobs there. My husband would need a job. I would prefer a job so we can keep ahead of the bills. Any info would be great. Thanks!

Is there any current nursing student to shed some insight into this program?
How was the interview process? Where did you stay while at the islands?

Any type of information is much appreciated.

Thank you!!!
