The Nursing and Allied Health General Education Courses
Acceptance into a clinical program in the Division of Nursing/Allied Health is based upon a competitive process.
Many students enroll in the general education component of the clinical program in which they are interested
prior to applying to the program. By so doing, a student can often enhance their standing in the competitive
selection process. Students are advised that the Nursing and Allied Health programs of all public institutions
within our state are currently being revised as a result of initiatives of the Tennessee Regents and Tennessee
Higher Education Commission. These changes will be phased in by the fall 2007 semester. Consequently, there may
be some changes in the general education core of specific programs as we address these issues. Please check with
the Nursing/Allied Health Division office or the program director of the program of interest for the latest
information.
Please be further advised that any transitional studies courses that are required based on college entrance
assessments must be completed prior to entering any nursing and allied health program.
