Completion of the undergraduate program requires 124 semester hours of coursework:  62 hours of general education and support courses at an accredited college or university of the student’s choice, and 62 hours of study in the nursing major at the College of Nursing.  The 62 hours of pre-nursing courses required at the freshman and sophomore years as a prerequisite to the nursing major include study in the areas of the humanities, communication skills, social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics.  These required courses build a solid foundation for the nursing courses taken in the junior and senior years at the College.
