In order to accommodate students who must travel to campus, we typically offer a few different sections with one (long) lab a week to minimize travel time. If traveling to our campus is not feasible for you, please contact your advisor for assistance in obtaining a transient permission letter to take this course at an institution near you.

The following classes must be completed prior to submitting an application to the Nursing Division for acceptance into the ASN Traditional Track: ENGL 1101 + BIOL 2411k + MATH 1001 OR MATH 1111. However, it is important for students to understand that although BIOL 2412k is not required to apply to the ASN traditional track, it is highly recommended to also complete the BIOL 2412k for these reasons: (1) Your TEAS scores must be turned in with your application and the TEAS test includes materials covered in the BIOL 2412k. (2) A student who completes the BIOL 2411k AND the BIOL 2412k both will receive higher consideration on their nursing program application.
