Nursing Science - Beginning Track Program

Curriculum

All prerequisite courses must be completed with a minimum grade of a “C” or higher by the time students start the program. Students may apply while they are completing the last of the general education and support/related coursework. 

All program courses (HSNS) from the prior semester must be completed with a “C” or better to progress to the next semester. Failure to attain the minimum grade in HSNS program courses will result in a “stop-out” and require readmission to the program. Readmission will be based upon space availability. Students may be readmitted only one time. 

Please see the Advisement Tab for the list of required pre-requisites.
