Degree Requirements

The College of Nursing reserves the right to change any requirement, regulation, or provision.  Changes will be publicized and take effect on the date they are approved. Only students admitted to the upper division are allowed to take NURS courses.

Credit Hours

Students must complete a minimum of 120 hours of course work that includes UToledo Core Curriculum requirements and all required course work in the major. A minimum of 60 hours must be taken at the 2000 to 4000 level, and a minimum of 30 hours must be taken at the 3000 to 4000 level. Students are encouraged to use Degree Audit to review remaining requirements and meet with the Nursing Academic Advisor before every registration period to assess progress toward degree completion. If a student completes UToledo Core Curriculum requirements and required courses in the nursing major in less than 120 hours, the student must successfully complete elective courses to meet the total 120 hours.

University Core Curriculum Requirements

Nursing students are required to complete the UToledo Core Curriculum requirements which include English composition, arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, and multicultural areas. Students are placed into chemistry and mathematics courses by ACT/SAT scores or placement tests in those subjects.  Consult with the Nursing Academic Advisor for specific details.

Orientation (NURS 1000)

All first-year, direct from high school, pre-nursing students must successfully pass NURS 1000.
