Arizona College of Nursing Opens Arlington Campus, Expanding Virginia Presence
Arizona College of Nursing’s 25th campus combines the resources and experience of a nationally recognized nursing program with a personalized, local approach to preparing future nurses.
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Arizona College of Nursing (AZCN) announces the opening of its new Arlington, Virginia, campus, marking the College’s 25th campus nationwide and third in Virginia. The new campus expands access to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) education for students in Arlington and the greater Northern Virginia region.
The new campus builds on AZCN longstanding commitment to preparing students to meet the future healthcare needs of the communities it serves.
“We are proud to expand our presence in Virginia, supporting more future nurses as they pursue their call to care,” said Jason E. Anderson, CEO of Arizona College of Nursing. “Our Arlington campus brings the strength and resources of an established national nursing program directly to this community while maintaining the personal, local experience that is so important to our students.”
Arizona College of Nursing offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program designed to be completed in approximately three years. The program combines classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory and simulation experiences, and clinical learning opportunities to prepare students for nursing practice. As part of a national nursing college, Arlington students also benefit from shared academic resources, faculty development and best practices developed across AZCN’s campuses.
“Strong nursing education requires more than a rigorous curriculum. It requires faculty and academic teams who are invested in helping students succeed,” said Amber Kool, Interim Chief Academic Officer of AZCN. “Our recognition as an NLN Center of Excellence™ reflects the emphasis we place on developing and supporting exceptional nursing educators. Arlington students will benefit from that same commitment, with access to the resources and proven practices of our national program and a local academic team focused on their success.”
With new program starts approximately every eight weeks, the College provides multiple opportunities throughout the year for future nurses to take the next step toward earning their BSN and entering the nursing profession.
