NURSING ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2008 and after)


This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements neccessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The nursing major is a limited access major. Students interested in applying to the nursing program must apply by February 1st. The minimum GPA requirement to apply for admission is a 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.0 science prerequisite GPA. Students must pass all nursing prerequisites and major courses with a grade of “C” or better. For a complete list of requirements, please see http://nursing.fsu.edu
