Once you complete necessary upgrading and are qualified for the Nursing Program, it is possible to take a total of SIX courses before you begin the Nursing program. These are: two courses in Anatomy & Physiology for first-year Nursing (BIO-160 and BIO-161), two first-year university-level English elective and two elective courses. This can significantly reduce your workload in the first year of the program. You may also choose to take an extra elective in preparation for your Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

There are five electives required for graduation from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree program: 2 English, 2 non-nursing courses (to be approved by the Nursing Department), and 1 Advanced Nursing elective.

Choose electives that would be relevant to your practice as a nurse. Some popular choices are Psychology, Sociology, Womenâ??s Studies, Biology, Chemistry, French and Spanish.
