Nursing Curriculum for B.S. in Nursing

Nursing Curriculum
Because Pharmacology 203 is not offered at UH Manoa in the spring, students seeking admission into the nursing program for a spring semester must complete this course prior to the first semester of nursing courses. Students admitted in the fall may take Pharmacology 203 concurrently with the first semester of nursing courses.

• Students must attain a grade of "C" or better in nursing, pharmacology, social science, and natural science courses in order to graduate.
• A total of 5 Writing Intensive (WI) courses are required to graduate. Only three of these courses have been integrated into the nursing curriculum, meaning that students must also complete two non-nursing WI courses to fulfill this requirement.
• Students who have been enrolled at any UH System institution (any of the UH campuses or community colleges) since Spring 2001, may be exempt from certain courses such as Oral Communications or the Hawaiian, Asian, & Pacific Focus Requirements.
