Roadmap Notes
Undergraduate Coordinator and Advisor: Dr. Sue Malloy.
Programs at SJSU prepare you for professional careers with a baccalaureate degree in Nursing.
The above courses (or their equivalents) are to be completed for the baccalaureate degree. Extended campus facilities include public health departments, home health agencies, sub-acute facilities, skilled nursing facilities, ambulatory care clinics, acute care hospitals, Nurse-Managed Centers and a wide variety of community-based agencies for clinical experience. Students must provide their own transportation to extended campus facilities. Some community agencies require home visits, therefore students must have individual use of an automobile.
Overall requirements: Students must maintain a minimum grade of “C” or better or “Credit” in each nursing course and in all prerequisites and corequisite courses for the nursing major (see admission impaction supplemental criteria for exceptions). In addition, students must pass background and drug clearances. Policies are posted on The Valley Foundation School of Nursing website at www.sjsu.edu/nursing.
All students must meet all health requirements and obtain personal professional liability insurance through the School’s designated vendor. Students must carry personal health insurance at all times as well. Those who do not meet the health clearance guidelines must meet with the advisor for follow-up.
Students should be aware that the application requirements and prerequisite courses are subject to change. Interested students should check the nursing website frequently for updates and changes.
Major Exceptions: This degree program meets certain University Requirements through approved major modifications. Please see the Major Exceptions area in the Policy and Procedures section of this catalog to identify the specific adjustments for this degree program or contact your major advisor for more details.
Major-Specific Graduation Requirements: All courses required in the major (preparation, major, and electives) require a grade of “C” or better or “Credit” (see admission impaction supplemental criteria for exceptions).
