Anticipated Changes: Beginning with the FALL 2010 application period, eligibility to apply will require completion of ALL 11 prerequisites with a B- grade minimum and taken no more than twice in the previous 5 years.

BSN CURRICULUM:
Responsibility for satisfying all requirements rests upon the student. Students must meet both the general education and the specific requirements of the Department of Nursing to qualify for graduation. Grades below a "C" will not satisfy degree requirements. The BSN program requires a minimum of 120 credit hours. Until matriculated in the program, ALL requirements are subject to change without written notice or obligation.
We encourage students to attend a Nursing Information Session or view the Nursing Admissions Presentation PRIOR to seeing a counselor; both are available in the Career and Academic Counseling Center in WB 147. The PowerPoint is also available anytime in WB 147. For additional information, please schedule a visit with the Pre-Nursing counselor Denise Fullmer.

1 For the prerequisite GPA calculation for Spring 2010, applicants have the option of substituting ONLY the Anatomy, Physiology or Microbiology grade for the BIOL 1010 grade. In FALL 2010 when all prerequisites must be complete to apply, and will all be used to calculate the GPA, this will no longer be an option.
2 For Spring 2010 applicants, completion of Human Physiology prior to entry is strongly encouraged ; if not taken prior to entry, it MUST be taken as a co-requisite with Nursing 1st Semester. In FALL 2010, this course will become a prerequisite and must be complete in order to apply.
