IMPORTANT NOTES
1. GWS, GHW, GQ, GN, GA, GH, and GS are attributes used to identify General Education requirements.
2. Bold Type indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better. All NURS courses define “C” as 75% or higher.
See course syllabi for grade equivalents in other courses.
a) See College of Nursing Grading Scale and Academic Progression Policy in the B.S.N. Nursing Handbook at
https://www.nursing.psu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/General-Bachelor-of-Science-Nursing-Student-
Handbook-3-11-19.pdf
i. Clarification of Academic Progression Policy: Each prerequisite requirement permits two attempts. For
example, STAT 200 and STAT 250 are the same prerequisite requirement; CHEM 130 and CHEM 110/111
are the same prerequisite requirement, etc.
b) Numbered NURS courses, major requirements/prerequisites, GQ and GHW are all “C”-required courses. Elective
courses, GA, GH, NURS 100 FYS, and the NURS 400-level Supporting Course are not “C”-required.
3. Students should consult with their Academic Adviser to select appropriate courses. Within the 30 credits of required
General Education Domain courses, students must complete 6 credits of Integrative Studies courses (Inter-domain or
Linked courses). Nursing students may utilize electives, GA or GH to fulfill this requirement.
4. In addition, students must complete at least 3 credits each of General Education Arts (GA) and General Education
Humanities (GH) outside of Integrative studies. Effective Summer 2018 and beyond.
5. BIOL 161/162 and BIOL 163/164 must be passed with a quality grade of C or better in order to progress to 200-level
nursing courses.
6. Scheduling Patterns (courses not taught each semester): NURS 415 and 420 are offered both semesters. Other
NURS courses are offered only in the semester indicated. NURS 200W is generally offered spring only, but an
Honors section is offered in fall semester which is sometimes opened to non-Schreyer students to fill.
7. Program Notes: Junior and senior years include 6-12 hours of clinical experience per week. Students studying at UP
will spend junior or senior year at Hershey Medical Center. Students at other campuses will attend clinicals within 50
miles of their campus location.
8. Academic Advising Notes: MATH 21 is a prerequisite for CHEM 130. MATH 22 is prerequisite for CHEM 110. If
a student places higher than MATH 22 on the ALEKS Assessment, any GQ may be scheduled.
9. Italic Bold Type indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better and that satisfy both major and General
Education requirements.
10. “US, IL”, and “US; IL” are attributes used to designate courses that satisfy University United States/International
Cultures requirements.
11. “W” is the attribute used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
5
What is the General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing?
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) General Option is a 4-year program that combines foundational
science and liberal arts courses with nursing courses that include hands-on experience in clinical settings.
Graduates are prepared to sit for the national exam (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as registered nurses.
Where is the Nursing Program offered?
The 4-year B.S.N. is offered at University Park (includes Hershey Medical Center campus), Altoona, Behrend
(Erie), Fayette, Mont Alto, Schuylkill (starting Fall 2020) and Scranton.
Can I change campuses?
Students may not change campus locations for the nursing degree. Students must complete the program at
the campus where they begin. However, students admitted to University Park will spend one year at the
Hershey Medical Center campus as part of the University Park program.
Is the Nursing Program accredited?
Yes, the B.S.N. program is accredited by the CCNE:
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)
One Dupont Circle, NW
Suite 530
Washington, DC 20036
202-887-6791
How competitive is the Nursing Program?
Admission is competitive. The College of Nursing received close to 3,000 applications for the 2018-19
academic year with the intent to yield 160 students at University Park and an additional 250 students across
the other campuses where the B.S.N. program is offered.
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
6
When does the Nursing Program begin?
The program begins every year in the fall. There is no spring admission.
Students may begin University coursework in the summer. First-year nursing students at University Park have
the option to participate in the following unique summer opportunity:
• LEAP (Learning Edge Academic Program) is an optional summer program reserved for first-year
students to assist with the transition to college. LEAP is an opportunity for new students to start their
Penn State career in a small-college atmosphere within the larger University. Students enroll in a LEAP
section of two courses with a small group, or “pride”, who live together in the same dormitory area
and have an upper-class student mentor to guide them through their first semester. LEAP will
complete the first-year seminar requirement. More information can be found at
http://summersession.psu.edu/leap/. The College of Nursing does not recommend a specific LEAP
section, but Nursing students may find the sections offering ENGL 15, CAS 100, HDFS 129 or STAT 200
particularly helpful in completing their degree requirements.
Will applying for the summer semester at University Park improve my
chance of being admitted to the Nursing Program?
Students applying to the Nursing Program may be considered for admission to the summer session at the
University Park campus; however, application to the summer session does not provide an advantage towards
being accepted into the Nursing Program at University Park.
What are the admission requirements?
The following high school courses (or a college equivalent) are required:
• four years of English
• three years of science
• three years of math (algebra, geometry, or trigonometry)
• three years of social studies/art/humanities combined
• two years of a single world language other than English. Students lacking two years of the same world
language who graduated from high school after 2001 will be required to take one course in a world
language within the first two years.

8
What is the deadline for application?
The deadline for application for the Nursing Program is November 30 and admission is competitive. Late
applications are typically considered on a space-available basis only. We recommend that students strive to
meet the Admissions Early Decision deadline of October 30.
Who makes admissions decisions?
Penn State admissions decisions are made through our centralized Undergraduate Admissions Office for all
Penn State campuses and programs. The College of Nursing does not evaluate applications. If you have
questions about your application or the decision-making process, please contact the Undergraduate
Admissions Office by email at [email protected], by phone at 814-865-5471, or through your MyPennState
account.
Is special housing available for first-year nursing students at University
Park?
First-year students are required to live on campus and may be assigned to any residence hall. However, there
are Special Living Options (SLO) that are available to students who would like to live and learn with classmates
who share their interests. For example, Health and Human Development (HHD) House is designed for
students who are interested in pursuing a health-related major, as well as students who are committed to
healthy living. Students do not need to be in the College of HHD to be eligible to live in this SLO. Students live
with other members of their SLO in close-knit communities ("houses") located in the residence halls, where
they have the opportunity to participate in field trips, group dinners, and other social and educational
activities. These options are limited so contact Penn State Housing Services http://www.housing.psu.edu/ for
more information if you are interested.
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
9
How much is tuition?
Tuition and fees are available at http://tuition.psu.edu/. A tuition calculator is available here:
http://tuition.psu.edu/costestimate.aspx .
Consistent with other academic institutions, Penn State charges lower-division and upper-division tuition
based on credits earned. Students with 59.1 earned credits will be charged upper-division tuition, which is
based on the primary campus designation and the program of study. Information on these rates for the
current academic year can be found at http://tuition.psu.edu/tuitiondynamic/tuitionandfees.aspx by selecting
applicable state residency and campus. Tuition and fee rates are subject to change.
Are there any additional costs or requirements?
1. Nursing students must purchase a personal laptop computer to participate in classroom-based
assignments and Nursing examinations throughout the course of the program.
2. In addition to standard tuition and fees, Nursing students may expect to spend approximately $3,600 or
more throughout the program for textbooks, uniforms, curriculum support materials (such as ATI
software and simulation lab supplies), and clinical compliances, which include child abuse and criminal
clearances, fingerprinting, liability insurance, a completed physical, and other costs.
3. Clinical sites require anyone working on their premises to be appropriately vetted. In the College of
Nursing, we refer to these requirements as “compliances”. Each May following the nursing students’
first year of enrollment, students must complete the following requirements:
• Pass an annual physical examination, which includes one-time antibody titers, vaccination history,
and immunizations. Students must be vaccinated to participate in clinicals. Please be aware that
insurance may or may not provide coverage for these medical requirements
• Complete Pennsylvania and federal criminal background checks (fingerprinting is required and
students must be free of felony convictions in the past ten years)*
• Complete Pennsylvania child abuse background checks
• Provide proof of medical coverage (student insurance policies are available)
• Purchase professional liability (malpractice) insurance
• Complete the American Heart Association Healthcare Provider CPR course
• Complete a 10-point drug test
All program requirements must be met and submitted on time each year in order to progress in the program.
*Questions regarding how criminal history affects nursing licensure should be directed to the student’s state
board of nursing.
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
10
What financial aid is available?
If you are enrolled as a degree-seeking student, you may be eligible for various federal and state grants or
loans. Contact the Office of Student Aid at http://studentaid.psu.edu/ for more information.
Completion of the FAFSA form automatically enters students into consideration for scholarships offered by the
College of Nursing. Information is available at http://www.nursing.psu.edu/undergraduate/financial-aid.
It is the student’s responsibility to look into various hospitals, professional associations, military groups,
community or other organizations which may also offer scholarships or low-interest loans.
How will transfer credits and Advanced Placement (AP) credits fit into
the nursing curriculum?
Transfer credits and AP credits may sometimes be applied to general education or elective credits. Admissions
determines whether credits from other institutions will be accepted. The College of Nursing determines how
these credits are applied towards your degree. Keep in mind that these credits would not impact your GPA at
Penn State. These credits have the potential benefit of decreasing course load, which could provide students
with the opportunity to explore a minor or other interests if desired. However, please note that a tuition
increase takes place when a student reaches 59.1 credits. Students bringing in credits may reach this tuition
“bump” earlier. Please communicate with the Academic Advising Office if you are planning on bringing in
college-level credits. Additional information on how Penn State awards credits for AP exams can be found at
http://admissions.psu.edu/academics/credit/ap/.
What and where are clinical courses?
Clinical courses typically involve a lecture and a hands-on component in a clinical setting. Clinical sites may be
anywhere within a 50-mile radius of campus. Clinical experiences and schedules vary each semester, but they
are typically offered in six- to eight-hour blocks between 6:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M.
Nursing students participate in nearly 900 hours of diverse and educationally rewarding clinical experiences.
University Park students spend one or more years (junior and/or senior year) at the Hershey Medical Center
Campus. Housing is reserved for nursing students at Hershey.
Examples of B.S.N. Clinical Sites
In addition to our state-of-the-art simulation labs, clinical locations may include:
• Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital
• Mount Nittany Medical Center
• Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

• The Meadows Psychiatric Center
• University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
(UPMC) Altoona
• Doctors’ offices
• Schools or prisons
• Assisted living facilities
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
11
Will I need to have my own car?
Nursing students are required to have their own transportation starting in the spring semester of sophomore
year. Carpooling may be an option during the sophomore year, but students should not rely on this option.
Students are responsible for getting themselves to their clinical sites throughout the Nursing Program.
Will I go to Hershey Medical Center?
Hershey Medical Center (HMC) is a Level I Trauma Center for both adult and pediatric populations. Nursing
students at University Park are required to spend one academic year in Hershey, PA studying at HMC. In
sophomore year, students are assigned via lottery to junior or senior year at HMC. Possible exceptions to this
requirement may be Schreyer Scholars, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), and student athletes who fall
under the NCAA requirements in order to maintain eligibility (this does not include cheerleading, the Lionettes
Dance Team, club sports, or the Blue Band). Students may request to spend both their junior and their senior
year in Hershey. Commonwealth Campus students participate in clinical experiences within a 50-mile radius of
their campus.
Are meal plans and housing offered while I’m at Hershey?
Students are responsible for providing their own meals during their time at Hershey. There is not a meal plan
option. Grocery stores are within a five- to ten-minute drive.
Penn State provides apartment-style housing that is a short walk to the Hershey Medical Center. There are
four nursing students in each apartment. Each student has his or her own bedroom and shares a common
bathroom, kitchen, and living area. Students also have the option to live off-campus if desired. There is no
additional fee for parking for students at Hershey.
Am I able to complete a minor or the Premedicine program with the
nursing degree?
With careful planning and collaboration with the program of interest, it may be possible to complete a minor
or the Premedicine curriculum concurrent to the Nursing Program. Because the Nursing Program is highly
structured, students should discuss any plans for a minor or the Premedicine curriculum with their Academic
Adviser as soon as possible.
Can I specialize?
Upon graduation, Penn State entry-level nurses are prepared to practice as generalists and can work in any
number of settings. True specialization requires graduate education.
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
12
Are there any social/professional groups for nursing students?
SNAPS
Each campus has a chapter of the Student Nurses Association of Penn State (SNAPS), the state-approved
organization of the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA). SNAPS activities include professional
development, community service and outreach, as well as social activities. Penn State’s chapter of SNAPS also
actively participates in THON, which is the largest student-run philanthropic event in the world to raise money
to fight pediatric cancer. See http://www.nsna.org/ or http://www.snap.psu.edu/ for more information.
Sigma Theta Tau
Students with outstanding records of scholarship and leadership are invited to join Sigma Theta Tau, the
international honor society for nursing. Penn State is home to the Beta Sigma chapter, one of more than 150
chapters of Sigma Theta Tau located at colleges and universities throughout the world.
Can I study abroad?
Nursing students who wish to study abroad have the following options:
• Penn State College of Nursing faculty offer short-term international experiences called “Embedded
Programs”. Experiences vary each year. Students are sent information on available opportunities for
the upcoming academic year.
• The University Office of Global Programs offers experiences during the summer or other breaks.
Information can be found at http://global.psu.edu/going-abroad.
• Other opportunities are available through student organizations, such as the PSU Global Brigades.
Information on this organization can be found at http://www.psugmb.org/.
• One minor that Nursing students interested in studying abroad may want to consider is the Global
Health Minor. This minor allows students to explore health issues and challenges affecting populations
across the globe and incorporates a 6-week international “Global Health Fieldwork Experience” course.
More information can be found at http://bbh.hhd.psu.edu/globalhealth.
Due to the sequenced nature of the nursing curriculum, nursing students can complete traditional study abroad
only during the summer or other breaks. Students who complete traditional study abroad programs during fall
or spring semesters will find themselves a year behind in the curriculum.
Frequently Asked Questions for the
General Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing
13
How will Penn State prepare me for the NCLEX-RN exam?
The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) is the national licensing
examination for all registered nurses. Passing this exam after graduation is the final step in becoming a nurse.
Penn State prepares nursing students early for their licensing examination by introducing Assessment
Technologies Institute (ATI) Nursing Education beginning sophomore year. The ATI software incorporates
practice exams and focused NCLEX-RN preparation. Additional information about ATI Nursing Education can
be found at https://www.atitesting.com/Home.aspx.
Currently, the first time pass rate for Penn State College of Nursing students is 95.47% based on statistics from
the Pennsylvania Department of State. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the
national average first time pass rate in 2018 was 89.41%
(https://www.ncsbn.org/Table_of_Pass_Rates_2018.pdf). While these numbers change slightly from year to
year, Penn State Nursing students’ pass rate is consistently above the state and national averages.
