Traditional "2+2" Pre-Nursing Program at EIU
Students may choose to
attend EIU for two years and then transfer to any of a number of
accredited programs that offer a baccalaureate degree in Nursing (B.S.N.)
and the knowledge and preparation to pass the certification exam
required to become a registered nurse (R.N.). Since your B.S.N. will be
awarded by another institution, you must meet their requirements. Please

Each program has its own
requirements, but deciding what courses to take is not too difficult
because most nursing programs require similar courses.
Note: If you are planning to take
courses at a local community college, contact the
Evaluator's Office (Room 1150, Old Main, 217-581-5942) regarding course
transfer.
