The courses listed below are required for completion of the B.S. degree with a major in nursing for students following the full-time curriculum plan beginning fall, 2012. Students must also complete the requirements for the Stevenson University curriculum. In general, students take lower-level (100- and 200-level) courses in freshman or sophomore years and upper-level (300- and 400-level) courses in junior or senior years. Specific pre- and co-requisites for each course are provided in the course descriptions. Courses in the nursing program are carefully sequenced to provide students with a growing theory base to promote success in subsequent courses. It is critical that nursing students on this plan consult their academic advisor when planning their course schedule.
