National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA)
Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing (BSMCON) participates in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of distance education.
Information for prospective Distance Delivery students residing out of Virginia:
BSMCON endeavors to offer all of its courses and programs to as wide an audience as possible and participates in the NC-SARA to enhance the quality and expand the access to our educational offerings.
Check the link NC-SARA for a map of participating SARA states and the list of participating institutions. If you're considering an academic program that leads to a professional license in your state, it is highly recommended that you first seek guidance from the appropriate licensing agency in your home state BEFORE beginning the academic program located outside your state.
