About the Program

Advisement for the major is available from the School of Nursing  

There are four types of students who may seek an undergraduate degree (B.S.N.) in nursing:
  1. Traditional undergraduate students (first bachelor’s degree)
  2. RNs with an associate’s degree in nursing and no previous bachelor’s degree
  3. RNs with an associate’s degree in nursing and an unrelated bachelor’s degree
  4. Second bachelor’s degree students
The nursing program includes a General Education component, support courses in the natural and behavioral sciences and a series of upper-division nursing courses for a total of 120 semester hours. 

Nursing Program Admission

Students with an interest in nursing should declare nursing as their major upon application to the University. Enrollment in the nursing major is a two-step admission process-admission to the University with a separate admission/approval process to begin the upper-division nursing courses. Admission to the University does not guarantee acceptance to begin the upper-division nursing courses. Students are eligible to begin the upper-division required nursing courses upon successful completion of the admission requirements and approval by the School of Nursing Student Policies Committee. Decisions regarding acceptance to begin the upper-division nursing courses occur during the spring semester prior to the start of fall of classes, usually by end of March. Due to course sequencing students must begin the upper-division nursing courses in the fall semester only. The admission requirements and priorities are listed below.
