* indicates courses that meet both general education and nursing requirements.
NOTE: General education courses may be taken in any order and every attempt should be made to complete these prior to the end of the sophomore year. Must have 60-63 Liberal Arts credits by the end of the Sophomore year. Students should be mindful to take nursing pre-requisite science courses in the correct order, as one is usually a pre-requisite for another.
Prerequisite Courses for all nursing-intent students must be completed by the end of the spring semester before beginning the Nursing program.
Further Recommendations
- Registered nurses should seek individualized advisement in the Department of Nursing for the RN to BSN completion program.
- Students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree may be eligible for the Bachelor’s to BSN: Second Degree Program. These students should seek individualized advisement in the Department of Nursing.
- Any nursing-intent student not placed in nursing-designated GEP100 (APS) sections with a nursing faculty member should seek a nursing advisor as early in their college attendance as possible, e.g., during their first semester.
