A cooperative program between Mount St. Mary's University (Emmitsburg, MD), and the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing (Baltimore, MD) is available to the student who seeks to pursue a career in nursing and wants a solid liberal arts education. This dual-degree program will allow a student to earn undergraduate degrees from both participating institutions over a five-year period.

Undergraduates in the program attend Mount St. Mary's for three academic years and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing for two academic years. After completing the academic requirements of Mount St. Mary's, usually at the end of the first year at Johns Hopkins, the student will receive a bachelor's degree in biology from the Mount. Upon meeting all requirements in the School of Nursing, a B.S. degree in nursing will be awarded by Johns Hopkins.

Students in the 3/2 dual-degree nursing program must designate the pre-nursing advisor, Dr. Robert Richman, to be their academic advisor after the freshman year.
