ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
To be admitted to regular standing in the School of Nursing Education,
applicants must be registered nurses, graduates of schools of nursing of approved
standards and in addition must meet the regular entrance requirements
of the University by certificate from an accredited high school or private
secondary school, giving the equivalent of four years of satisfactory high
school work, or by examination.
Furthermore, at least one year of graduate experience in some educational
or executive work in schools of nursing is highly desirable for all
prospective students.
For admission by certificate, the applicant should file with the School
not later than September 1, a Certificate of Preparation made out on a blank
form furnished upon request. And a special blank giving applicant's professional
training and experience will be required of all students.
All women students must first register at the office of the Dean of Women,
16 East Lawn.
Special Students.—A limited number of graduate nurses of more mature
age whose general education has not included a complete high school course
may be admitted as special students. But they must present evidence of
satisfactory professional and personal qualifications and ability to pursue the
course in Nursing Education successfully. No special student may be a
candidate for a degree; but such students are permitted and encouraged to
make up deficiencies by private study or by taking courses in the Summer
Quarter. They will then be admitted as regular students, and may be accepted
as applicants for the degree, provided all entrance requirements are
met at least one academic year before the date of graduation.
College Credit.—A maximum of 5 courses (15 session-hours) may be
granted for one year of college work and 11 courses for two years. In no
case will credit be given on more than 11 courses of work done in another
college, and any student who receives this maximum amount of credit must
take the remaining 5 courses required for her degree in residence in a regular
session of nine months in this University.
