The nursing program consists of 127 credits, 55 of
which are nursing credits. To be considered for retention, progression and graduation, students must maintain a 2.50 QPA or better in the cognate courses and the nursing courses which comprise the nursing major. A minimum of 2.00 QPA is required in the liberal arts courses not designated as cognate courses. In addition, the student must obtain a 2.0 ("C") or better in each course designated as a cognate course, and in each nursing course. Students who do not achieve a satifactory grade in a nursing or cognate course may repeat one nursing or cognate course one time only, space permitting. This course must be taken at Marywood University. Courses in the nursing major must be scheduled in their proper sequence. This requires nursing faculty advisement before each registration period. The Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing has granted approval for this program. In addition, the program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). Upon graduation with the bachelor of science in nursing degree, graduates not previously licensed to practice nursing will be eligible to apply to take the registered nurse licensure examination.  |
