Starting nursing and clinical courses is always exciting for students! For students who start at B´ÎÔª as a freshman, the professional sequence of nursing courses begins in the sophomore year.  

When will I graduate if I transfer in from another school?

This will vary by student and is dependent on completion of the pre-requisites courses needed to start the professional sequence of nursing courses which begin every fall and spring semester and progress sequentially for the next 6 semesters (3 years).
