Traditional Curriculum
The traditional format requires minimal prerequisite courses for admission (Biology, Chemistry, English & Sociology) with the nursing major scheduled over three academic years of fall and spring semester courses. This plan is best suited for students with significant general education and departmental requirements remaining upon admission to the major. Courses and clinical experiences are scheduled during the week.
