Kate Delaney, Pre Nursing Advising
Program, Lodge, Room 286
The pre nursing curriculum is a two year program which is designed
to provide the basic undergraduate education needed for entry
into the professional portion of a baccalaureate nursing program.
Through an arrangement with the College of Nursing at Montana
State University, The University of Montana-Missoula offers
approved courses for pre-nursing students. Students who intend
to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree offered
through Montana State University can complete the 12 credits
of sophomore level nursing courses in Bozeman or on one of the
"upper-division" campuses, up to a year prior to placement
regardless of whether or not they have been admitted to MSU.
Depending upon the specific placement, students can complete
the entire nursing program in Missoula.
A grade of "C" or better is required in the following
specific courses for admission to clinical nursing. The following
courses may not be repeated more than once regardless of where
taken. Though a grade of "C" is minimally acceptable,
students are advised to attain the highest grade average possible
in these classes for placement considerations at the upper division
level. Acceptance to clinical nursing is based on the average
of the grades received in required prerequisite courses at the
time of application. Admission is based strictly on grade prioritization.
A grade average of 2.50 or better is required at the time of
application to clinical nursing. There is a competitive component
to a successful application. MSU general education requirements
and elective credits need to be satisfied prior to graduation.
Due to occasional changes in the curriculum and degree requirements,
it is essential to contact the pre nursing advisor before course
selection and enrollment.
