Individualized Degree Plans


The degree requirements outlined in this publication are intended to provide general information for students who are seeking a college degree. Navarro College emphasizes the importance of individualized attention so that each student may realize his or her academic goals with a minimum of problems or delay. It is essential that students work closely with their college and career success coaches to establish a plan of educational objectives.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree plan in this catalog serves as a guide for students who have completed an Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) or diploma program, who already hold a Registered Nursing (RN) license, and who wish to earn a BSN degree. Students must complete the 120-semester credit hour (SCH) degree plan, which includes 51 SCH of general education courses (including 42 SCH of required core courses), 36 SCH of lower-division nursing courses, and 33 SCH of upper-division nursing courses. Substitutions for any general education course on the BSN plan may be made only with the approval of the Executive Dean of Academic Studies, while substitutions for any nursing or health professions course may be made only with the approval of the Executive Dean of Health Professions.

The Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT), and Associate of Science degree plans in this catalog serve as a guide for students planning to transfer to a senior level institution. Students should select courses from these plans based upon the requirements of the senior level institution to which they plan to transfer. Students must complete the 42- hour general education core and an additional 18 hours of academic work to receive the AA, AAT, or AS degrees. Substitutions for any course in an AA, AAT, or AS degree may be made only with the approval of the Executive Dean of Academic Studies.
