课程完全在线提供. Classes are not self-paced and assignments are due per the published schedule in the course syllabus. The classes are taught in 8-week FASTTRACK terms with the exception of Individual, 家庭, and Population Health NUR4648C) and 护理 Excellence NUR4940C, which have experiential learning and are thus a full 16-week term (12-weeks in the summer). Students should be aware that a course taught in the 8 weeks is not less work but that they are doing 16 weeks of work in 8 weeks, which is a demanding schedule; however, the accelerated schedule enables a part-time student to complete two classes every semester while focusing on only one class at a time. Due to the pace and rigor of the courses, the student should not enroll in more than two nursing courses during each 8-week term.
BSN Courses that have a C attached to the course number, 目前为NUR4638C Individual, 家庭, and Population Health (社区) and NUR4940C 护理 Excellence (Capstone), have an experiential learning component.

Experiential learning is self-scheduled although there may be restrictions on scheduling with specific deadlines for completion as outlined in the course syllabus. It will be your responsibility to schedule the experiential learning component with the facility and to know the facility’s expectation for meeting specific health and other requirements. Some facilities require such items as proof of current immunizations and a criminal background check. Other facilities may have other requirements or no requirements.

Please keep this in mind as you prepare to take these courses to avoid problems with completing the experiential learning component, ,因而, not successfully completing the course.

A full-time student may complete upper-division program requirements in three semesters and a part-time student may complete all upper-division requirements in five semesters.
