NOTE: This condensed schedule is made available only on a limited basis. Availability is determined by spaces in clinical and specialty courses. Students who were
admitted the prior Fall and Spring semesters are given priority for clinical and specialty courses. The College of Nursing will contact students who are admitted for the
Fall, if space is available in the clinical or specialty courses that would allow for a condensed schedule.
NOTE: Your ability to progress in the curriculum is dependent upon your following this schedule. For example, some courses are only taught once
each year and many have pre-requisites. If you are unable to enroll as projected, contact the Graduate Studies Office for a revised schedule.
