Semester Sequence

This is a suggested schedule for a student who has completed any developmental course work and has no transfer credits.

The transfer track is for students who intend to continue their education at the Registered Nurse (RN) level. All of the prerequisite courses are transferable to the RN program. While we encourage our students to continue their formal education we know that some may want to practice as a LPN for a while and then at a later time return to school. These students would be encouraged to complete the career track. The prerequisite courses in the career track meet the education requirements for the LPN Certificate but provide an alternative science sequence that would not transfer into a RN program. In the event that the LPN career track graduate would decide to continue their education, they would need to complete BIOL 110, BIOL 220 and BIOL 221, and BIOL 230 (Microbiology) along with the other noted pre-requisites in the admission criteria.
