Course of Study
With the help of an academic advisor, an individual course of study is determined. Course of study may be affected by the actual classes offered in an academic year. Certain classes may have prerequisites as noted in the class descriptions. Part-time students are encouraged to complete most of the required non-nursing classes before starting nursing classes. The course of study varies considerably when the student applies transfer credits toward the degree. Transfer credit regulations are outlined under the Academic Regulations section of the University Calendar.
