The B.S.N. degree requires 42 credits as prerequisite or corequisite courses. Additionally, there are 49 required credits in nursing. A minimum of a C (2.0) is required for the nursing courses and the prerequisite or corequisite courses, and an overall GPA of 2.5 must be achieved throughout the program to meet nursing major graduation requirements.
A student can receive less than a C (2.0) or withdraw for academic reasons from only one non-nursing prerequisite/corequisite course one time. A student can fail or withdraw, for academic reasons, from only one nursing course one time. If a student fails or withdraws from a prerequisite, co-requisite or nursing course due to academic reasons a second time, they must withdraw from the nursing major. This student would not be eligible to reapply to the nursing major at Hope College. Any prerequisite, corequisite or nursing course for which a student receives a grade of less than a C (2.0) must be repeated. A student must withdraw from the nursing major if the cumulative GPA is less than 2.5, and the student would no longer be eligible for the nursing major.
