The traditional bachelor’s degree is the cornerstone of the College. Building on the more than 85 years of excellence in nursing education, the traditional bachelor’s degree is for students recently having graduated from high school, or transfer students who have not accumulated enough credits for the Advanced Placement Program.
The curriculum is based on a variety of nursing, general education, and related elective courses preparing the student for the rigors of being a professional nurse. Students are taught about the caring ethic of nursing in each and every course they take. Students typically complete their Bachelor’s of Science degree in four years. During those four years, students will experience a vast variety of classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings led by some of the best faculty you will find anywhere. Each faculty member has an area of expertise and shares their knowledge and clinical experiences with each student ensuring that the student receives a strong education.
