Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Nursing Program consists of
four academic years. Students enter the program as pre-nursing
majors and must complete the first three semesters of a
pre-nursing curriculum consisting of General Education courses
and nursing prerequisites. Students then apply for admission to
the last five semesters which include 71 semester hours of
upper-division nursing courses. When a student applies for
admission to the last five semesters and is accepted and becomes
enrolled, he/she is then classified as a Nursing major. The
number of students accepted into the nursing courses is limited,
making the application process competitive.
Upon successful completion of the
program, graduates are awarded the B.S.N. and become eligible to
sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for
Registered Nurse (RN) licensure.
Pre-nursing students enrolled in
the University and pursuing the first three semesters of the
curriculum should maintain a minimum 2.75 cumulative grade point
average and are required to earn no less than a C (2.00) in any
prerequisite course. Nursing clinicals may be offered in
evening, night, or weekend shifts.
