The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree requires 52 credits of nursing courses, plus a set of prerequisite and corequisite courses. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for the nursing courses and the prerequisite or corequisite courses, and an overall GPA of 2.5 must be maintained throughout the program to meet nursing major graduation requirements. A student must withdraw from the nursing major if the cumulative GPA is less than 2.5, and would no longer be eligible for the major.
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, corequisite or nursing course due to academic reasons a second time, they must withdraw from the nursing major. The student would not be eligible to reapply for 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.
