In addition to the College's admissions requirements, prospective nursing majors are required to take both a biology and chemistry course, with laboratory, in high school. Students can be admitted to the program as freshmen or as transfers. Transfer students and students changing majors are eligible for admission following application and review by the department. Permission to take courses in the nursing program is dependent on evidence of student achievement in preparatory courses and the number of available seats. Registered nurse students from diploma and associate degree programs may apply for admission following a transcript evaluation.
Opportunity is provided to challenge some courses in the major.
A current RN license in New Jersey is required. For further information, registered nurse students should address inquiries to the RN Coordinator, Department of Nursing. Any student seeking information regarding the recommended sequence of courses in the nursing major should contact the Nursing Department. The Nursing Department conducts a performance standards review after each semester. Nursing laboratory courses are conducted both on and off campus.
