²A minimum of 3 hours of advanced clinical core courses is required. NURSM600, 624, 781 may be used to meet the requirement or may be substituted for another course depending on clinical specailty and role desired. (Note: NURSM600 is a prerequisite to NURSM781)
³Students may choose from existing specialty courses in other tracks such as NP, or NMW, as there are basic concepts in each specialty area that can be offered to all students. Students need 6 hours of specialty courses with 2 clinical hours.
