Students who plan to advance to a graduate level nursing program, we highly recommend MATH 1040.

Chemistry Note: If you plan to pursue a graduate level nursing degree, you should complete CHEM 1110 instead of 1150. In addition, some graduate nursing programs require two sections of Chemistry; therefore, it would be best to take Chemistry 1110 and Chemistry 1120. Consult an academic advisor for more information
