Pre-Nursing Concentration in Biology Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

Our dynamic, four-year pre-nursing degree prepares students for admission into the nursing school through focused coursework, expert advising, and career-focused programming. Students can also choose to pursue two degrees at an accelerated (five-year) pace, receiving their BSN in their fifth year at one of many accelerated nursing programs across the country.

Cheyney also offers a concentration in pre-nursing/health professions through our biology degree program, providing students with a foundation for entering nursing school and numerous other health fields. Integrating anatomy, physiology, chemistry, biology, and genetics, this option lays the groundwork for students to advance into research and advanced, graduate-level coursework. In offering this concentration, Cheyney helps increase the number of well-prepared minority candidates for various areas of biology. Through our emphasis on building a wide range of scientific skills, the program also enhances the likelihood of acceptance into a graduate program.
