Course Overview

The Texas A&M College of Nursing is committed to addressing the critical nursing shortage across Texas, and strives to produce the best prepared nurses and the most advanced nursing research. As leaders, our graduates are taught to question traditional methods and to continually seek the best practices based on relevant clinical research. Through community service and leadership opportunities, the College of Nursing fosters a sense of social responsibility and global citizenship. We are developing research innovations to enhance the education and preparation of nurses, improve the delivery of patient care across an eclectic array of populations and translate research evidence into practice.

The College of Nursing offers three bachelor degree tracks and three master’s degree programs.

The Traditional BSN track is for students who have completed two years of prerequisite coursework, from Texas A&M or another institution. Students choosing the Traditional BSN track complete 120 credit hours of general education and professional nursing course work. The first two years of the curriculum include prerequisite courses in the humanities and biological, physical and behavioral sciences to provide a foundation for growth in the nursing major. The prerequisite courses may be completed at any accredited college or university. Students will then apply for upper-level entry into the Traditional BSN program to complete the third and fourth years in clinical and non-clinical nursing courses. This track is offered at the Bryan/College Station campus.
