Baccalaureate Degree - B. S. in Nursing
As the most established baccalaureate nursing degree in New
Jersey, our program has a well respected heritage of
educational achievement and reputation for producing nurses
whose skills are highly valued by patients, employers and
colleagues alike.
The college has continually refined its curriculum over the
years and prides itself in offering the most up-to-date
education available to students.
About the course
The four-year program provides a solid foundation in liberal
arts and sciences alongside specialist nursing courses. The
first two years combine liberal arts and sciences elements
and basic theoretical nursing courses. Major clinical
nursing courses are taken in the junior and senior years.
Classes are taken in all areas of nursing practice,
including nursing of adults, nursing of childbearing
families, nursing of childrearing families,
psychiatric-mental health nursing and community health
nursing. Senior year concludes with an intensive clinical
experience to further develop clinical and professional
nursing skills.
Graduation requirements include completion of the 125-credit
curriculum in academic good standing and the successful
completion of a comprehensive nursing exam. Each semester,
students must complete all nursing courses with grades of
"C" or above in order to progress to the next semester.
