There is also a plan of study for students who choose to complete the program in three calendar years plus fall quarter. Students who change from one plan to the other will be admitted to the alternate plan on a space-available basis only.
The College of Nursing and Health faculty reserves the right to revise the nursing requirements or the sequence at any time as deemed necessary to prepare students for new and emerging roles in nursing. Course requirements or sequence scheduling may also be changed.
Students can repeat a science course one time only; a maximum of two science courses may be repeated. Students may repeat one nursing course. Students subsequently failing any nursing course will be dismissed from the program.
Honors Program
Students with superior academic ability may participate in the nursing honors program, which emphasizes independence, self-direction, and in-depth study in an area of interest to the student. To be eligible, students must have a 3.2 or higher GPA for the 45 credit hours immediately preceding the winter quarter of their junior year. Students eligible to participate in the nursing honors program will be notified by the college’s Office of Student Affairs.
