HCC has the right prescription for nursing students
Monday, December 28, 2009
BRIDGEPORT—Many students enter Housatonic Community College with aspirations beyond a certificate or associate’s degree. But the two-year college often does not have all the courses needed to fulfill the prerequisites to enroll in a graduate-level program.
But that is what is promised—at least in the nursing field—with a new package of HCC courses designed to fulfill all the prerequisites for students interested in the University of Connecticut’s Master’s Entry into Nursing program.
To get into that program, candidates need a range of science classes, such as genetics, anatomy, physiology and microbiology, on top of a bachelor’s degree. They also need a grade-point average of at least 3.0.
