Students may transfer non-nursing course credits from other institutions to meet most program requirements. A total of 45 credits, including 33 nursing credits must be taken at UMD. These courses may also be satisfied through the UMass Dartmouth Professional and Continuing Education division with online, blended or face-to-face courses. Nursing courses build on RN prior knowledge and skills and support professional development. Clinical courses allow students to increase their knowledge in community nursing and chronic illness care through faculty directed independent practice. A final clinical course provides the opportunity to gain expertise or explore a new area of nursing of the student’s choice with a professional nurse mentor.
Students may select to accelerate progression to graduate nursing programs while completing the BS. This option allows students to complete three MS nursing courses as part of their undergraduate study.
