Fall Admission Part-Time Curriculum Pattern

Part-time – 24 months

Admission begins in the fall or spring semester. Full-time students admitted in the fall will graduate in August. Those admitted in the spring will graduate in December. Below is the 24-month part-time schedule. A part-time schedule will allow the student to take the ½ semester courses and 1 summer course the first year, followed by the two 15 week courses and the remaining 10 week summer course. These students will graduate in 24 months. Currently, each course is offered only once a year (other than NURS 4245 which students take their first semester).
