Weber State College, in conjunction with the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital, commenced its Associate Degree Program in Nursing in 1953 as a pilot school in a research project of Teachers College, Columbia University. The research phase of the project was completed in 1957, and all except one of the pilot schools have continued to conduct their programs. There are now over 125 similar programs in the United States. In a college environment, students enjoy participation in many social and cultural activities. The curriculum includes approximately equal distribution of general education courses and nursing courses. Facilities used to enrich the needed experiences include the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital, and a special unit within one of the public schools. Students eligible for Weber State College are selected for the Nursing Program, on the basis of entrance scores, high school achievement, and a personal interview. Successful completion of this program entitles the graduate to an Associate of Science Degree from Weber State College and eligibility to write the State Board Test Pool Licensing Examinations for the Registered Nurse license. The program has been accredited by the Utah Board of Nursing and by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The philosophy of the Associate Degree Program in Nursing is in harmony with that of Weber State College. The nursing faculty believes: That education should afford an opportunity for the development of one's capacities in his social, professional, and personal roles. That this opportunity may be provided through a well- planned program based on scientific, cultural, and social experiences. That an effective learning environment provides for individual differences, fosters continuing growth in self direction, and promotes an awareness not only of one's special aptitudes but of one's limitations. That continuity of learning is achieved by concurrence of theory and laboratory experience. 179
