Curriculum

The BSN 鈥� Prelicensure Track is designed to provide students with the foundational education and prerequisites necessary for entry into the upper-division nursing curriculum. This program begins with full-time study in preceptored clinical settings, where students complete general education courses that offer introductory knowledge on the physiological, psychosocial, environmental, and political factors affecting individual and community health.

Pathway to Upper Division Nursing Courses

In addition to successful completion of the general education and prerequisite courses, students will also be required to complete the TEAS exam, with a required score of 75% in all four submodular areas (Reading, English, Math, and Sciences).

Students will complete a supplemental application, after completing the Pre-Nursing phase of the BSN at CDU.

Once transitioned into the BSN Upper Division Nursing Coursework phase, students will complete the remaining nursing degree requirements at CDU.
