Nursing, R.N. - Three Year (208TY)

Associate of Applied Science Degree

For students who are applying to the Nursing Program directly from high school or with fewer than 12 earned college credits, it is highly recommended that the Optional Three Year Curriculum Plan is selected. By reducing both credit load and contact hours each semester, the likelihood of academic success might be increased. Seek advisement regarding course selection as needed.

After being accepted into the Nursing Program for the Optional Three Year Curriculum Plan, the student must maintain a 2.5 GPA and earn a “C” or better in all courses completed during the first two semesters of enrollment. If these requirements are met, the student will be eligible for enrollment in NURS 101 in the third semester of the Optional Three Year Curriculum Plan.

A recommended three-year curriculum plan is shown below:

After being accepted to the Nursing Program, if the student chooses the three-year curriculum and maintains a 2.0 GPA or better during the first two semesters, the student may enroll in the first nursing course (NURS 101) in the third semester.
