How many credits is a LPN degree program?

Answer 1

It depends in where you take the program. The average credit requirement for most community colleges is approximately 52 credits and it takes about one year to complete as a full-time student. Part time would take longer. If you start in September, you will finish the following September, and there is not break. The program will run through the summer. However, each school may have schedules particular to themselves and you should check some schools of interest. If possible, I would advise you take the program through a college. Thus, if you wanted to continue your education after completion, you will have some college credits to apply toward a degree. In addition, their are many colleges that offer an LPN to RN program. Some schools refer to it as an RN completion program. They typically will give you 20 credits based on your LPN license, plus credit for you general education requirements. However, as I indicated you would have had to take the program through a college.
