SECTION IV: General Information on Baccalaureate Programs

General Information on Baccalaureate Programs

The ABSN programs include 49 credits of generalist nursing courses (90 laboratory hours and 660 clinical hours); 79 credits are transferred from the previous baccalaureate degree. The 49 credits in the program are considered a residency requirement and are the minimum number of credits that must be completed at the University of Rochester School of Nursing.

Any changes to the prescribed plan require the permission of the Program Directors. If an ABSN student requests a change or failure in a course results in a change to the standard program plan, placement in the future course(s) will depend on the availability of space in the subsequent cohort(s).

The student who has failed a course is responsible for investigating any financial implications of these changes (e.g., the flat rate versus the per credit hour tuition rate).
