greater flexibility for the adult learner to achieve learning outcomes
including on-line course options. The joint degree is similar to the
SNL Bachelor of Arts in its philosophy, policy, and procedures with the

vulnerable populations, and continuing academic and clinical education
in nursing at the graduate level. The Professional Advisor in the
student's Academic Committee is a ND faculty member assigned by the
department.

School for New Learning (SNL) and the College of Liberal Arts &
Science jointly award the BS with a major in nursing.
