STEP Online Courses
College of Nursing & Health Sciences

The Lurleen B. Wallace College of Nursing and Health Sciences offers an online program for students currently licensed in Alabama as Registered Nurses.  STEP (Strategic Teaching for Enhanced Professional Preparation) is designed to provide a mechanism by which Registered Nurses may obtain the baccalaureate educational level in nursing.  Courses are made available through the use of Internet, CD-ROM and clinical projects.  The objectives of the STEP program are consistent with the objectives of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

Additional Objectives are to provide:

  • A quality educational experience from a CCNE accredited baccalaureate program.
  • Flexible and cost effective means whereby Registered Nurses can complete the baccalaureate degree.
  • Convenient access to RN students who would otherwise be unable to pursue courses at the baccalaureate level.

For additional information concerning the STEP Program, please contact Dr. Phyllis Waits, (256) 782-5423 or 1-800-231-JAX1, ext. 5909.
