Curriculum
At Utica University, the Traditional nursing program is designed to provide students with a liberal education as well as a professional foundation that integrates nursing theory with skills required for nursing practice. The program leads to a Bachelor’s of Science (BS) in nursing.
During the first two years of the traditional undergraduate nursing curriculum, students will complete all general education core and prerequisite liberal arts and sciences courses. The nursing courses will be taken in 4 semesters at the junior and senior level.
Professional nurses are liberally educated practitioners who function as primary providers of health care services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Nurses work collaboratively with physicians, social workers, therapists, and other health professionals. Graduates of the program have opportunities in a variety of settings including acute care, community agencies, home care, and schools. All students enrolled in clinical courses must hold current certification in CPR, Basic Life Support, have health and liability insurance, and meet the health requirements of the respective agencies. Transportation is the responsibility of the student. Details about these requirements are available from the program office.
