*Select courses from P1, P3, P4, P5, and P6. One Perspectives course must be a Freshman Seminar (except for transfer students with 15 or more hours) and one must be upper-level (ULP) outside the major. HSCC 220 (Medical Terminology) is highly recommended as an elective. See your faculty advisor for additional elective credit recommendations. Except for the upper-level Perspectives course, students should plan to complete the Liberal Studies requirements before the junior year.
All students must have at least 60 semester hours credit, 72 preferred, before admission to the BSN Pre-Licensure Program.
