Seamless academic progression models in nursing higher education provide opportunities for the student of nursing (prior to, or after, licensure) to progress unfettered in their formal nursing education.   The overarching goals of the Shared (“Common”) Curriculum Model are a seamless academic progression pathway from the Associate Degree in Nursing to the Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing and strategic leveraging of existing curricula and resources.
