PROGRAM INFORMATION
This certificate allows students to acquire an orientation to nursing and the ability to acquire general education credits in preparation for admission to Tri-County Technical College clinicals, transfer to other nursing programs, and/or future advanced nursing education. Note: Completion of the prenursing certificate alone does not meet the pre-nursing certificate option for admission to the nursing program. Students using the pre-nursing certificate as their admission option must complete all courses in the pre-nursing certificate with a grade of C or better and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. No more than 50 percent (six courses) of the total number of courses required for the pre-nursing certificate may be repeated and no required course may be repeated more than once to meet this admission option.
