Undergraduate Nursing Programs

â€œWe believe that collaboration is essential for the vitality of nursing. Community across all student populations and units enhances student and faculty success for the university and the School of Nursing.â€

Nursing Pathways

This pathway may be ideal for students looking to focus on only nursing, but donâ€™t have the flexibility to take off-term courses. This pathway offers courses during fall and spring semester only with graduation set at four years from start.

To obtain a WGS minor with Nursing BSN degree, a total of 18 additional credits are needed. Nine of those credits are already required in the standard nursing curriculum. An additional 9 credits (or three 3-credit courses) are needed within the WGS department to earn the minor.

The School of Nursing recognizes that many students will work or participate in sports, outside employment, or other extracurriculars while they are a student. This pathway allows students to lighten their semester academic credit load by spreading out some classes over winter, May, and summer terms (as available), making balancing academics and other activities easier.

The program combines the close-knit, student-centered academic experience provided by Uº£½ÇÉçÇø Machias, the regional campus of the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø (Uº£½ÇÉçÇø), with the outstanding nursing curriculum offered by Uº£½ÇÉçÇøâ€™s nationally ranked Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program (BSN).

This pathway is ideal for students looking to join the United States Army to become an Army Nurse upon graduation. Number of credits per semester are a little higher due to added naval courses. This pathway is not recommended for students who choose to work full-time and/or do extra-curriculars (like sports).

This pathway is ideal for students looking to join the United States Navy to become a Navy Nurse upon graduation. Number of credits per semester are a little higher due to added naval courses. This pathway is not recommended for students who choose to work full-time and/or do extra-curriculars (like sports).
