BSN: Curriculum

JMU offers a 4-year program leading to a Bachelor of Nursing degree. During the first 2 years students complete the General Education Program and the Prerequisite Courses. Students must earn a C- or higher in all prerequisite courses before they can begin junior nursing classes.

Students take the first nursing course at the Sophomore level prior to entry into the Nursing Program. This course credit applies to the total nursing program credits once students gain entry into the program.

Students begin courses in the 4-Semester Nursing Program usually at the beginning of the junior year. The 2-year nursing program of study includes 59 credit hours of core nursing courses and 2 required credit hours of Nursing Elective Courses. Nursing electives can be taken anytime in the freshman through senior year.
