CURRICULUM
The nursing curriculum builds on a strong liberal arts foundation. Courses in general education are integrated throughout each year of study of the curriculum plan. The curriculum focuses on the scientific and theoretical bases of nursing and incorporates the technological capability required for nursing practice in the twenty-first century.
Students at Lander may complement their chosen degrees with one of 29 minors offered by Lander University. Many nursing students minor in Health Care Management to strengthen their preparation for professional nursing with comprehensive knowledge of the health care delivery system and fundamental skills in business administration.
The curriculum is designed for completion in four academic years. Students are admitted to the nursing major following completion of 30 semester hours college credit; at least 12 hours must be at Lander University. Students who do not enroll in required English, science and mathematics courses their first year may require additional time for completion.
The curriculum plan is based on the Neuman Systems Model, which guides students in using the nursing process to meet the health needs of individuals, families, groups, and communities in diverse health care settings.
