Curriculum

 

All prerequisites must be completed with grades of "C" or better before matriculating to the RN-BS program. Students entering with transfer credit from other institutions will most likely have already satisfied some of the nursing prerequisites and/or SUNY general education requirements. Equivalent courses may be found at http://taurus.buffalo.edu while courses not yet articulated in TAURUS must be evaluated for equivalency by UB departments to satisfy general education requirements.
