Students enrolled at Trident Technical College and the College of Charleston must fulfill course prerequisites of their "home" institution, as well as the MUSC College of Nursing. Six semester hours of course work that emphasizes expository and critical writing, and utilizes selected works of literature for analysis and composition topics.
A three semester hour survey course of theory and research concerned with human growth and development from conception/birth through senescence and death. A course is child development will not fulfill this requirement. CLEP and Excelsior College exams taken after 2001 are acceptable.
An introductory four semester hour course in human (or mammalian) anatomy that incorporates a review of all body systems reinforced by laboratory experiences, including dissection. (An eight semester hour combined Anatomy and Physiology course is also acceptable).
A four semester hour course that surveys the functional biology of human (or mammalian) organ systems, including cells, homeostatic mechanisms, and the relationship between structure and function. Must include laboratory experiences. (An eight semester hour combined Anatomy and physiology course is also acceptable).
A four semester hour survey course of the morphology, structure, metabolism, and growth of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, protozoan, and parasites. Basic concepts of virology, epidemiology, and pathogenicity should be included. Must include a laboratory component. A three semester hour course that emphasizes basic statistical concepts. Topics should include descriptive statistics, probability, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, simple linear regression and correlation, and analysis of variance. While an four semester hour college transfer course is acceptable, biology, chemistry, and physics courses with a laboratory component are preferred. Fifteen semester hours of college transfer course work are acceptable including anthropology, computer science, management, psychology, sociology, geography, art, ethics, education, foreign languages, literature, philoshopy, speech, communications, religion, and fine arts.
Seventeen semester hours of college transfer course work (nonnursing) are acceptable. Any computer information, public speaking, additional math, and additional science courses are highly recommended. General rule: Any course that is college transfer eligible, the course number is 101 or higher and has not been used to meet other specific prerequisite course work may be used.
