The basic nursing curriculum consists of a planned progression of courses that build upon previous knowledge and develop skills at increasing levels of competence. The lower-division nursing and the science courses are prerequisite to the junior-level nursing courses. Throughout the curriculum, concepts relating to the promotion of health, care during illness, and long-term care are developed. Also emphasized are the nurse’s roles in research, advocacy, teaching, change, and management.

Note: A new curriculum was implemented in the academic year 2009-2010. All students entering as freshman starting Fall 2009 and after are in this new curriculum pattern. Transfer students who entered Fall 2010 with all prerequisites and who planned to go full-time are in the old curriculum, transfer students without all prerequisites or those who planned to be part-time are in the new curriculum. All students in the old curriculum should have finished by December of 2012. After that point, extra credits, time and money are required for graduation. The first graduates of the new curriculum were spring 2013.
