A bachelor's degree in nursing can lead to direct patient care opportunities or leadership positions in healthcare settings. Choosing a practical major such as nursing prepares you for continuous professional growth and development. The basic/pre-licensure nursing track is designed for students without prior nursing qualifications, including those holding bachelor's degrees in unrelated fields. Towson University's nursing bachelor's program mandates completion of at least 120 credit hours. While developing essential communication, analytical, and leadership abilities through required science coursework, students should note that additional department-specific requirements may extend the total credits needed beyond 120 for most nursing majors.
Admission to the nursing program is selective and highly competitive due to limited capacity. Prospective students must submit an application and satisfy all entry criteria for consideration.
