Major: Part-time Evening/Weekend RN Nursing Program -
Track 3
The VATNP part-time evening/weekend program is specifically designed for working adults or other adults who are interested in becoming RN's but have other responsibilities that interfere with their abilities to attend the rigorous scheduling of the previously described program of study. Classes will be provided in a combination of evening, weekend, and distance learning. The program is designed at a slower pace to be completed in 4 years. General education courses listed in year 1 must be completed before the student will be able to begin year 2.
Admission Requirements: Admission requirements for the part-time evening/weekend nursing program are the same as the regular program with the following exception: Students must complete 23 credits of support (general education) courses: BIO 141, BIO 142, ENG 111, ENG 112, MTH 126, ITE 100 or 115, and SDV 108. Additional required general education courses can be completed after acceptance to the program.
