What You’ll Learn

The Associate of Science in Health Science (Pre-Nursing) program at South College is designed to include foundational courses/prerequisites for advanced programs such as the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. The curriculum requires completion of a variety of general education courses, as well as foundational courses in anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, and nutrition. The required prerequisite courses to pursue admission to the South College Bachelor of Science in Nursing are included in the required courses for this program. Students who do not go on to pursue a bachelor’s degree may have professional goals to pursue opportunities in such areas as biological, life, or health sciences.

As the population ages and healthcare needs continue to rise, nurses have become even more essential to providing medical care in a wide variety of contexts. Each day involves combining foundational theory with compassionate care to improve the lives of patients.

Success at South College

I wanted a school with a small classroom environment where I could have access to my professors and one that was close to home, so attending South College was an easy decision.

- Heather Meyer, Associate of Science in Health Science (Pre-Nursing)

One of the major reasons I chose South College was for the smaller class sizes. It allows more one-on-one time between students and professors, which enhances the learning experience for me.

- Elizabeth Frerichs, Bachelor of Science in Health Science

I went to college originally straight out of high school with the intent of majoring in musical performance with a concentration in theoretical studies. I was not prepared to for college at that point, so I decided to gain some experience and maturity by joining the work force full-time. After working for 10 years, I felt it was time to try school again.
