Curriculum
The 2nd Degree Hybrid BSN program allows students the option to adjust
their plan of study between full-time and part-time as needed each term
to enable them to balance their academic, work, and family responsibilities.
The full-time plan of study (if maintained for the duration of the program)
is 6 trimesters (18 months), while the part-time plan of study (if maintained
for the duration of the program) is 10 trimesters (30 months). The program
requires successful completion of 68 hours of prerequisite and core courses
and 52 hours of nursing course work.
Students must complete all nursing courses with a grade of C or better
(or test out of eligible courses). A student is ineligible to continue
the program if a grade of D or F is earned in two clinical nursing courses
or if a required nonclinical nursing course is failed two times.
