Baltimore County, Md. – Interested in becoming a teacher of nursing students, but don’t have a degree in either teaching or nursing? If you have a bachelor’s degree in any discipline(except Nursing) from an accredited college, the Community College of Baltimore County and Towson University may have the program for you -- the Associate-to-Master’s Degree in Nursing (ATM) program.

This full-time, year-round program, which can be completed in three years, is designed to prepare nurse educators so that Nursing programs can expand the number of students accepted into nursing programs. Its goal is to reduce the national nursing shortage. Ideal candidates will have a strong background in science and an interest in teaching.
