The delivery of the courses differs in that the B.S.N. completion program was designed for the adult learner. Modular courses are delivered in more than three to seven weeks' time during day and evening hours to facilitate the working adult. The delivery of the traditional course content is typically more than a semester's length. The CUW faculty members are published and recognized leaders in their field of expertise. The curriculum in nursing prepares individuals for a beginning practice of professional nursing and is built around the core curriculum and supplemental courses that facilitate the development of a professional nurse.
Students have an opportunity to gain a basis of knowledge from the liberal arts curriculum.
The traditional student's nursing experience begins with on-campus instruction in both the classroom and nursing laboratory. The first learning experience with patients begins in the sophomore year. Throughout the program, students are introduced to nursing experiences in both hospitals and community agencies. In their senior year, nursing students can take a global education class during Concordia's Winterim and experience life in another country. During the past two Winterims, students spent seven days in Costa Rica.
