Prelicensure Track Overview

Make a Difference in Health Care

Nurses are in demand. Through the College of Nursing's flexible Prelicensure Track program, students will earn a Bachelor of Science and the skills to make a positive impact in health care.

Overview

The College of Nursing offers a flexible pre-licensure program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The Prelicensure Track begins each fall, spring, and summer semester and can be completed in as little as four semesters or longer if needed. Concepts of evidence-based practice, leadership, professionalism, health promotion, quality, and safety are integrated throughout the curriculum and provides learning experiences in:

  • Maternal and infant care
  • Acute and chronic care across the lifespan
  • Care transitions
  • Population, community, and global health
  • Healthcare disparities and social determinants of care
  • Health policy and advocacy

Students participate in supervised clinical learning experiences in a variety of settings for approximately 12 to 24 hours per week.

“I have a big heart for the unfortunate, the sick, the hurt, and the vulnerable. Science combined with empathy is my natural calling, which led me to nursing. The college's faculty and staff are definitely the best in the state of Utah—as a first generation American and student, guidance and support are crucial for my success.”

-Nestor Chavez, pre-licensure baccalaureate student
