Biology majors interested in nursing as a career may choose to enter a seven year 3/4 cooperative program in pre-nursing/nursing and earn the bachelor of science degree from John Carroll University and the doctor of nursing degree from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University. Students in this program normally attend John Carroll for three academic years and complete all university Core and major requirements including cognates, except two upper level electives in biology. After successful completion of one year at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, the student will be awarded the bachelor of science degree with a biology major by John Carroll University. To be eligible for this program students must complete at least 60 semester hours of credit at John Carroll, apply in writing to the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences by the end of the first semester of the junior year, and be accepted by the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing in the usual manner. Students planning to follow this course of study should contact the Biology Department Chair and the Chair of the Pre-Health Professions Program during the first semester of their sophomore year. A list of suggested courses is available.
