Arizona College of Nursing

What Arizona College of Nursing does

Arizona College of Nursing (AZCN) is a for-profit private nursing institution operating as a division of Eduvision, Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 1991, AZCN delivers an accelerated three-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program alongside allied health offerings on two Arizona campuses (Glendale and Mesa). The institution operates 24 nursing campuses across 15 U.S. states with 7,500+ active students and 5,400+ alumni, making it one of the larger geographically distributed private nursing educators in the country.

AZCN's core offering is a competency-based BSN curriculum built around classroom instruction, high-fidelity simulation lab work, and supervised clinical rotations that prepare graduates to sit for the NCLEX-RN licensing exam. The program holds programmatic accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), and AZCN received American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accreditation in March 2026, extending its credentials into continuing education. The technology stack supports blended learning, clinical placement management, and student information systems typical of multi-campus private colleges.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition paid by BSN students, supplemented by allied health program tuition on the Arizona campuses. AZCN derives no public revenue disclosure as a privately held subsidiary of Eduvision, Inc. Recent commercial moves — partnerships with American College of Education (December 2025) and Scholars Network (April 2026) — signal diversification into graduate pathway articulation and employer-mediated clinical placement. The Military Friendly School designation (2025-2026) indicates targeted pursuit of military-affiliated student segments using GI Bill and related benefits.

Broad incumbents

• Grand Canyon University: GCU is a large for-profit university with significant nursing and healthcare programs, including accelerated BSN tracks on ground and online. A broader incumbent offering nursing as part of a wider university portfolio rather than as a specialized focus.
• Western Governors University (WGU): WGU is a large, nonprofit online university with CCNE-accredited BSN and MSN programs at materially lower tuition. WGU pressures AZCN's pricing and reach among working adult learners, though it does not offer in-person clinical campus experiences.

Direct peers

• Chamberlain University: Chamberlain is a large, multi-campus nursing school (Adtalem Global Education subsidiary) offering accelerated BSN and MSN programs nationwide. Directly comparable in delivery model, target student, and employer relationships.
• Unitek College: Unitek is a private nursing and allied health school operating accelerated BSN and vocational healthcare programs across multiple U.S. campuses, with a comparable target student and employer partnership model.
• ECPI University: ECPI is a private, accelerated career-focused university with nursing and allied health programs across multiple campuses. Similar in for-profit status, accelerated pacing, and direct-to-consumer enrollment model.
• Concorde Career Colleges: Concorde is a private, for-profit health-focused institution offering nursing and allied health programs across multiple campuses. Directly comparable in mission, target student, and accelerated healthcare education model.
• South University: South University (owned by Education Affiliates/Dream Center) operates accelerated BSN and nursing programs at multiple U.S. campuses. Comparable in delivery model, target student demographic, and reliance on Title IV funding.
• Herzing University: Herzing is a private, multi-campus institution with a strong nursing and allied health portfolio, including accelerated BSN options. Comparable in target student (working adults, career changers), for-profit status, and geographic dispersion.
• Galen College of Nursing: Galen is the closest direct peer — a private nursing school operating accelerated BSN programs across multiple U.S. campuses with similar NCLEX prep, employer partnerships, and student demographic focus. Both compete for the same accelerated-BSN student and employer pipeline.

Emerging players

• Aspen University: Aspen is a primarily online, for-profit university with BSN, MSN, and DNP programs targeting working adults. Competes with AZCN for the same adult learner, but its online-only model makes it a partial rather than direct competitor for in-person clinical training.
