Pre-Nursing (A.S.)

Although Gainesville State College does not offer a degree program in nursing, students pursuing a nursing career who plan to continue their studies at a school of nursing for either an Associate of Science-Nursing (ASN) degree or the Bachelor of Science-Nursing (BSN) degree may complete the majority of their freshman and sophomore core courses at Gainesville State College.

Each degree (ASN/BSN) varies in the number of courses required and each school of nursing has slightly different course requirements. Therefore, students need to select a prospective nursing degree program (ASN/BSN) and a transfer institution early in their academic program. Students must plan their coursework at Gainesville State College to comply with the requirements of their specific transfer institution’s nursing program.

Following the course guide below will fulfill core requirements for most BS nursing programs and satisfy the requirements for an Associate of Science (AS) degree in General Studies from Gainesville State College. Students who plan to graduate from Gainesville State College with an Associate of Science degree in General Studies MUST pass the Regent’s Testing Program in Reading and Composition prior to graduation.
