 Return to: Academic Programs A-Z
The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major
in Nursing has been developed to provide registered nurses who have earned a
diploma or associate degree with an opportunity to pursue a baccalaureate
nursing degree in a program closely articulated with their previous educational
and clinical experiences. Courses are designed specifically to build on
previously acquired knowledge and skills.
The curriculum is designed so that students may complete the
program on either a full-time or part-time basis. The sequence of courses and
length of time necessary for the RN to complete the requirements for the degree
vary with the individual and depend on the number of transfer credits, credit
by examination and advanced standing credits, as well as on the number of
credits for which the student registers each semester. An effort is made to
individualize selected learning opportunities within nursing courses based on
the background and interests of each individual student.
Qualifications for this program include:
- Graduation from a state-approved diploma or associate degree
program in nursing with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.3 on a
scale of 4
- achievement of at least a “C” grade in all lower-level
nursing courses;
- achievement of acceptable college or university credit in
required courses in Physical Sciences, Social Sciences and Liberal Studies.
Applicants must possess a current license and registration to practice
professional nursing in the
U.S.,
must demonstrate knowledge and competency to practice first-level nursing, must
provide satisfactory references and must meet the health requirements of the
Nursing Department.

Nursing Senior Experience
The senior experience for both the pre-licensure students and the
registered nursing majors consists of seminars, projects and a departmental
comprehensive examination in which majors examine the impact of their
baccalaureate education on themselves as liberally educated persons, as members
of the nursing profession, and as members of a global society. The goals of the
senior experience are twofold: 1) to develop critical thinking, problem-solving
and interactive skills as liberally-educated professional nurses; and 2) to
analyze the interconnections among health, nursing, the liberal arts and the
humanities, especially from the core areas of the Natural Sciences, Philosophy,
Religious Studies, Literature, History, Fine Arts, Mathematics and Social
Sciences. Junior Year
