Curriculum
Listed are courses included in the curriculum at St. Joseph’s College of Nursing. General education courses taken at another regionally accredited college or university may be eligible for transfer credit if similar in content, rigor, and learning outcomes. Additionally, a minimum grade of “C” (2.0) must have been earned to be awarded transfer credit. Refer to our “Credit for Previous Coursework” on our website or in our catalog.
Only Nursing (NSG) courses are included in the Evening/Weekend option. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that the liberal arts & science courses (except PHL 346) be completed before enrolling in St. Joseph’s Evening/Weekend option. For more information, please see the College of Nursing Catalog.
