Additional Information
- All applicants to the Nursing program must first be accepted into Hope
College. A secondary admission to the Nursing major is required.
- Nursing majors earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN) and have
modified general education requirements.
- The major is highly sequenced. The science courses listed above are offered
ONLY in those semesters; most have prerequisites. The nursing major courses
are focused primarily in clinical settings, so students need to complete these
courses in a timely way.
- The nursing major has selective admission. Students apply in spring semester
of their first year or fall semester of their second and must meet these criteria:
- must have completed or must be enrolled in at least two of the required
natural science courses and one of the required social science courses.
- must have earned a minimum grade of C in each course listed above.
- must have a minimum cumulative (overall) GPA of 2.9.
- Some students who intend health professions change direction and decide
to pursue nursing. Please refer students to Sue Dunn (dunns@hope.edu) for
appropriate course selection.
- Laboratory science courses are typically not offered at Hope during summer
terms. It is possible for students to transfer courses from other colleges;
approval is needed from the department which teaches the course at Hope,
and from Hope’s Nursing Department Chairperson.
- If students want to earn both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor
of Arts/Science in another field, they must complete requirements for both
general education curricula.
