Earn your Nursing Degree at The Citadel
Students may select nursing as their major during their freshman year. The successful completion of all pre-requisite science courses (Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2, Microbiology, and all associated laboratory courses) must occur prior to the start of the second semester of the sophomore year.
To progress into nursing courses, students must achieve a minimum grade of a C in all required science courses, including psychology. A mandatory minimum grade point average of 2.7 (not rounded up) is required at the end of the fall semester of the sophomore year for continued progression in nursing.
If a student is interested in study abroad opportunities, the only time a nursing student can participate in study abroad is during the first semester of the sophomore year. Students must be cognizant that the pre-requisite science courses are completed prior to the start of the spring semester of the sophomore year to be able to continue in nursing. A nursing student must have a grade point average of greater than a 3.0 to participate in a fall semester study abroad program.
