Classes
Do you admit a large number of students to the nursing program, and then "weed-out" students in the early semesters of the program?

  No, absolutely not! The faculty strive to support all admitted students toward success in the nursing program; however, the nursing program has rigorous standards and high expectations. Some students may find the nursing major is not ideal for them and choose to seek another major. Faculty are always available for advisement and counseling to assist students to meet their educational goals.

Is it possible to specialize in one area of nursing while getting a baccalaureate degree in nursing?

  No, specialization in nursing occurs at the master's or graduate level of study. Study for the baccalaureate degree in nursing is at a generalist level. Acquiring the baccalaureate degree is the foundation required for master's level study in nursing.

Do you have evening classes?

  No, there are a very few College classes offered in the evening hours. A few nursing clinical experiences are in the evening hours, but the associated classes for these clinical experiences are during the day time hours.

Can you attend part time?

  Yes, part time study is available.
