Curriculum Information

Clinical Experiences

Although students are required to complete direct and indirect clinical experiences, these are embedded within our curriculum. Clinical assignments are designed to enrich coursework and differ from pre-licensure clinical assignments in that they are not precepted by a faculty member and can be completed at the student’s individual location. The purpose of these clinical experiences is to advance professional growth and assist students in demonstrating proficiencies essential to Bachelor of Science in Nursing-prepared nursing practice.

Community Service

All students will be required to complete 25 hours of community service during their time in the program. The purpose of community service is to foster civic responsibility, enhance hands on learning experience, and assist students in identifying and meeting health and social needs of the community. Students can complete hours at their leisure in a variety of settings. Online community service opportunities are also available through WVU iServe.
