Nursing Program Curriculum of Study

*General Education courses may only be taken with Nursing (excluding A&P I&II) if you have a degree or required ACT/SAT scores. If not, they must be completed before entering the program.

*These courses must be completed with a "C" or higher before proceeding to the next semester.

BIOL 130, 131 or 232 must be repeated if they are more than 10 years old.
