The College of Nursing at the University of Cincinnati offers a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN). As a competitive second-entry program, students must complete a "pre-nursing" year of prerequisite coursework before being formally admitted, on the basis of their academic performance, into the nursing major. In addition to coursework in biology, physiology, nursing theory and the humanities, the BSN program offers a unique cooperative education component in which students receive individualized mentoring and gain practical work experience under the supervision of an experienced registered nurse in a variety of clinical settings.
