Prairie View A&M University BSN Nursing Reviews

• The BSN training program is a four and a half year training program which prepares people who can practice professional nursing in various clinical settings, and also who are willing to continue their education via graduate studies.
• The upper division clinical studies component of the nursing training program is based on prerequisite courses at the lower division, which may be finished at the main campus of Prairie View A&M University or even transferred from a different certified college or university.
• A student aiming to declare pre-nursing as a major must be accepted into the school as outlined in the college catalog. Licensed nurses can go on with their education to achieve the BSN degree via the distance education training program.
