DEPARTMENT OF NURSING
COOPERATIVE PROGRAM OPTION
BSN Basic Track Degree Plan
The cooperative program offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing;
this basic type program is often called the 2+2 program because
applicants to the program must complete 60 semester hours of lower
division, prerequisite coursework prior to enrollment in the nursing
curriculum offered by MUSC at Francis Marion University. Admission
is competitive and on a space-available basis, determined by overall
MUSC College of Nursing enrollment and availability of clinical
components. To be considered for admission, preferred applicants
should have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale)
and a minimum 500 verbal and 500 math on the SAT I. For fall admission,
application deadline for MUSC College of Nursing is February 1.
On-line applications are available at http://www.musc.edu/es.
All lower division prerequisite coursework is offered at Francis
Marion University. Prerequisite courses taken at Francis Marion
University will be accepted for transfer if the student meets
the minimum course content requirements and a grade of C or better
is earned. Prerequisite course work is listed under the Pre-Nursing
section of this catalog. Students must apply and be accepted by
MUSC. After admission to the MUSC College of Nursing, students
complete an additional 61 semester hours of upper division course
work.
Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is competitive
and cannot be guaranteed. Students interested in the cooperative
program option are advised to familiarize themselves with the
application procedures and admissions criteria of the MUSC College
of Nursing.
