All courses are three credit unless otherwise noted. Course descriptions are available on the Website.
The number of hours of meeting/contact time per week is determined by the type of nursing course and credits. The following ratios are used:
| Didactic Course |
1 credit=1 hour/week |
| Laboratory Course |
1 credit=3 hours/week |
| Clinical Course |
1 credit=6 hours/week |
| Doctoral Residency |
1 credit=90 hours |
| Doctoral Practicum |
1 credit=30 research hours |
*When courses are a combination of didactic and clinical or didactic and laboratory, the number of hours/week is adjusted to reflect the relative proportions
