Pre-Nursing
Nursing is a science and an art that focuses on promoting a good quality of life. It is a profession focused on assisting individuals, families and communities in attaining, maintaining and recovering optimal health. Students entering the pre-nursing curriculum at K-State take courses in preparation to transfer to a school that offers a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). Prerequisites vary considerably and can change frequently depending on the schools of nursing to which students plan to apply. Generally about 65 credit hours are required before transferring to a school of nursing, although this varies.
