Bachelor of Science in Nursing
SUGGESTED COURSE SEQUENCE Prior to Transfer from Crowder College All MSU bachelor’s degrees require completion of general education courses. This can be satisfied by completing an AA degree from Crowder (in addition to the nursing degree), taking Crowder classes and transferring them to MSU, or taking distance classes from MSU. General education requirements do not have to be complete prior to beginning the upper-division coursework. This sequence shows the option of taking two classes per semester. Students are also free to take only one course per semester, or to go full-time.
