In addition to completing all courses prerequisite to the major and the nursing curriculum, candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree must fulfill all of the graduation requirement for the college of admission (either College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) or Hayworth College (HC).
Prerequisite courses:
Because of anticipated changes in the required pre-requisite courses, the pre-requisites course for admission to the BSN program will be changing. Therefore the pre-requisites for classes starting January 09 and August 09 are slightly different; they are listed below for each admission class. Any transferred courses taken to meet these prerequisites should be comparable as determined by Queens.
