Nursing

UD offers two paths to achieving a degree in nursing. The first option is to complete the UD-TWU Dual Degree Program, requiring completion of prerequisite courses at UD during a student’s first three years, followed by nursing-specific courses during the final two years. Enrollment as a dual degree student requires completion of a declaration form and application to TWU during February of a student’s junior year.

A second option for nursing is the alternate or accelerated nursing program for individuals with an undergraduate degree in a field other than nursing. These programs require at least 60 semester hours after the bachelor’s degree and may take between 12-24 months to complete after UD.

Generally the preferred pre-nursing curriculum includes a minimum of:

Biology 8 credits
Chemistry 4 credits
Anatomy 4 credits
Physiology 4 credits
Microbiology 4 credits
Nutrition 3 credits
Psychology (General and Developmental) 6 credits
Statistics 3 credits
