Nursing

Pre-Nursing Certificate

The Pre-Nursing certificate provides a structured curriculum for those students seeking to qualify for nursing without testing.  The completion of all eight courses in the curriculum with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on these 8 courses, no grade lower that a “C” and no more than one repeat per course will enable the student to secure a place on the qualified list for nursing.  In addition, the courses in this certificate serve as a background for the study of either practical nursing or associate degree nursing.
