The Nursing Program prepares individuals to be providers and managers of nursing care and members of the nursing discipline. Graduates use a clinical decision making process to provide care to diverse individuals across the life-span.

Following acceptance into a nursing class, the day program includes a sequence of four clinical program courses that can be completed in two academic years. A new day class is accepted each fall. The night program includes five clinical program courses and takes two and one-half years to complete. New night classes are accepted every other year on the odd numbered years. The next class is fall 2013. A minimum grade of “C” must be earned in all courses included in the summary of required hours.
