Nursing

Not an RN?

Thomas University does not offer an Associate Degree in Nursing program. However, several Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) programs are available in the area. They enable a student to be eligible for licensure as a Registered Nurse. TU offers general education "core" courses that are required by these ADN programs. Successful completion of TU’s general education core does not guarantee admission to the ADN programs. Application must be made to whichever school the student plans to attend.

To later graduate from the TU Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing program, ADN registered nurses will need to complete the remaining courses in the Core Curriculum at TU.

For more information, contact the Nursing Division.

CSC 120 is recommended if the student plans to pursue a BSN in the future.
STA 250 Intro to Statistics is a good elective to take.
Darton College requires 1 PE credit. A health/wellness course at TU will not substitute for this PE requirement.

Darton begins in Thomasville only in the summer. Although completion of BIO 261 is the only requirement to begin the program, it is NOT recommended that students attempt completing TU core classes and begin Darton during the same semester since both sets of courses are very demanding.
