NOTES:
This is an unofficial document and should be used
for academic planning purposes only.
Study tracks have been designed to meet individual
learning needs. An explanation of each study track
is included on this check sheet. Students are
expected to meet with an academic advisor from the
Nursing Department in Cohen Hall, CH 300 each
semester. To obtain advisement schedules, call
(973) 328-5352 or check the Nursing page on the
CCM website. Due to continual program revisions
mandated by accrediting agencies and/or changes in
state mandated requirements, students should consult
their academic advisor when selecting courses.
*TECHNOLOGY/MATH: If you do not pass the
Technology Literacy Exam, you must take CMP
101, Computer Information Literacy to satisfy the
Technology Literacy requirement. Students must
also show proficiency equivalent to Intermediate
Algebra.
**BIO 101 and CHM 117 or CHM 125 are
prerequisites for Microbiology BIO 215.
Students need to be aware that due to the
competitive nature of admission into the Nursing
Program, granting a seat into the professional
(clinical) phase is based on Science and English
grades and the overall institutional grade point
average. Preference is given to students who take
their Science and English classes at CCM.
Admission into the professional (clinical) phase is
not guaranteed once prerequisites are completed.
Please see the Nursing Department website
(www.ccm.edu/academics/divdep/health-
professions-natural-sciences/department-of-
nursing/) for more information regarding

admission.
All science courses must be completed (or in
progress) at the time the professional phase
application is submitted. The professional phase
application cannot be filed until the student has
been accepted for admission to the college.
Students must have an institutional GPA of 2.5 or
higher to apply for the professional phase of the
program. Students required to take remedial
course work will take longer to complete the
All grades must be “C” or better. Science courses
completed by students prior to entering the
program must be less than seven years old. If the
science courses exceed the seven-year limit,
students must prove their competency by testing,
or they must retake the courses.
Upon acceptance into the professional phase of
the Nursing Program, students will be subject to a
drug screening and an annual Federal and State
criminal background check. A positive criminal
background check may result in denial into or
continuance in the program. Students must
maintain personal health insurance. Students
