Nursing
The nursing program is now accepting students. Students accepted for Fall 08 admission will enter NUR 161 and NUR 226 this summer and then NUR 111 in the fall. Since the curriculum change is new, some students may need to take NUR 161 and NUR 226 with NUR 111 in the fall. These changes are being made in order to support new nursing students in their academic endeavors.
Although students are encouraged to complete BIO 231 and BIO 232 prior to enrolling in NUR 111 and will be required to do so after this year, students may enter NUR 111 this Fall with only BIO 231 so long as they take BIO 232 concurrently.
