Preparatory Programs

Pre-Nursing
Advisor: Pat Cwiek, BSN, M.A. at 774-2712

The CMU Pre-Nursing program is designed for students planning to transfer to a school of nursing. The Pre-Nursing advisor maintains files with information useful to career planning, choosing a nursing program, and transfer procedures. Students are urged to contact the pre-nursing advisor early in the first semester in order to plan a course of study appropriate for transfer.

Nursing programs in preparation for licensure as a registered nurse are two to four years in length. Depending on the program of study, students can earn an associate degree, a diploma, or a bachelor of science degree.
Prerequisites for admission and deadlines for application vary among nursing programs. Admission to nursing programs is selective and, therefore, completion of recommended courses at CMU does not automatically insure admission.

Recommended courses for the first semester:
ENG 101 (3)
CHM 120 (4) and CHM 127 (1)
SOC 100 or PSY 100 (3)
BIO 101 (3)
Humanities elective (3)*
