Traditional Program Second Degree Option

Persons with a bachelor's degree in a field other than nursing may enter the second degree option of the nursing program. Prerequisite requirements are the same as those for a traditional nursing major. The social science courses (one course each in psychology and sociology) may be taken with nursing courses, load permitting and with approval of the department chair.

Each applicant's academic record will be reviewed individually. The length of the program for second degree students who have completed prerequisites is four semesters during fall and spring.
