Department of Nursing

Degree Requirements

The university requires a minimum of 120 units for graduation. However, established departmental requirements must also be completed for graduation with a Nursing major. This necessitates completion of more than 120 units for most students enrolled in the department.

Prerequisites for Courses:  RN to B.S. students

The minimum number of credits that must be completed at Towson is 30; this may vary depending on the number of credits transferred from the community college. To ensure successful progress through the nursing major, students will need to complete Organic Chemistry, Nutrition and Microbiology.  If these courses were not part of the associate’s degree, they must be completed prior to acceptance into the nursing major -- which could add additional credits to the program.  A Statistics course is needed prior to enrolling in NURS 431.
