** Students in the NP2 curriculum (Pre-Clinical Nursing) who wish
to take these additional core requirements before admission to the
Clinical Phase of the Nursing program (NS) are advised to change
their curriculum to Health Sciences (HS) so EN-102, SS-520, BI-302,
and BI-311 will be counted toward their curriculum. This is
particularly important for students receiving financial aid through
TAP, which will not cover any courses which are not in the student’s
