- Options - you can earn an Associate of Science degree in Nursing (ASN) from AUA and continue on to receive your Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from City University of New York (CUNY) Lehman College. For acceptance into Lehman’s RN-to-BSN program, you will need to have successfully completed your ASN at AUA, earned 90 transferable credits and achieved a passing score on the NCLEX-RN.
