The program includes enriched coursework and research involvement, as well as the opportunity to develop a mentoring relationship with a School of Nursing professor. Eligible students are invited to apply following admission to the program. Admission is granted on the basis of academic work and a short essay. For more information, speak with a nursing adviser. Advisers are available at the school to help students interpret curriculum and academic requirements, select electives, and plan a balanced program.
Advisers also help with academic problems and acquaint students with campus resources.
Students should see an adviser at least once every semester. They must also meet with their adviser by the second Friday in October for program planning and verification that they can graduate in four years. Students must continue to meet with their adviser at least once a semester to review progress. Participation in the agreement does not guarantee admission to the School of Nursing.
