For Students enrolled in the BSN Concurrent Enrollment Program and Undergraduate Postlicensure programs.
Beginning fall 2026 and 8-week terms, the Concurrent and R.N.-B.S.N. curricula have entry options up to 6 times a year. The following are suggestions - not rules - for pairing courses depending on your anticipated number of semesters in the program. Please consider these recommendations as you select your courses.
The shift to 8-week terms didn鈥檛 change the courses or format- just accelerates the timeline to complete the content and assignments. Please be mindful of that as you choose your schedule.
Considerations
- NURS 401 (Intro to BSN), NURS 402 (Nurse Educator), and NURS 403- Capstone with ePortfolio (eP) - must be taken in different semesters
- NURS 401 must be taken in the first semester
- NURS 363 must be taken during the first or second semester
- NURS 490W is a writing intensive course
- NURS 492- clinical application paper is required in the eP but may not be completed prior to eP due date- not recommended in the same semester as NURS 403
- NURS 403 must be taken in the final semester and is a 4-credit writing intensive including the eP- best paired with an elective to ensure required eP assignments have been completed
Note
NURS 305 (Health Assessment- 3 credit hours) is NOT included below and must be added if you did not have a stand-alone health assessment course during your pre-licensure nursing program.
