Students accepted without completing their nursing general education requirements must take those required courses concurrently with the other nursing courses. These additional classes would require an additional time commitment beyond the day required for the One Day per Week option. Although some courses are available online, the semester length for those courses is 15 weeks, rather than the 20 weeks allowed for the middle two semesters of the One Day per Week Nursing Program. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Center for Academic Services for additional assistance. How to Apply >>
