Nursing Courses

Lower-division nursing content is offered through one of two general types of programs: Blocked or Integrated. Because of the distribution of content, it is extremely difficult to align curricula from one type of program to another. Students who desire to transfer from a program utilizing one type of program into the other type of program should be prepared to make up some content through a bridge-course or through the repetition of some content within courses. It is recommended that a student make every effort to avoid transferring from one type of program to the other before completing the associate degree in nursing in order not to lose credit. Please see the nursing content areas listed in the Academic Affairs section at the Coordinating Board’s website www.thecb.state.tx.us.
