SB 22-003

Senate Bill 22-003, now signed into law, allows community colleges in Colorado to offer bachelor's degrees in nursing to students who already have or are working towards a practical nursing certificate. This means more nursing students can advance their education without needing to transfer to a four-year university. The law benefits current and aspiring nurses by providing them with more educational pathways to achieve higher qualifications. Since the bill has been signed, it is now active and community colleges can start implementing these programs.
