PLANNING FOR SUCCESS

YOUR GRADUATION PLAN Chamberlain University has a standard curriculum plan for all of its programs and program options but now it’s time to review your specific graduation plan. A personalized plan has been developed for you taking into account your transfer credit and placement test results. It also accounts for prerequisites and corequisites as well as campus course availability. Note that transitional studies courses are unlikely to transfer to other institutions and may increase program length and cost.

A

PREREQUISITE A course that must be successfully completed prior to enrollment in the desired course.

B

COREQUISITE A course that must be successfully completed prior to or taken at the same time as the desired course.

GENERAL EDUCATION AND SCIENCES COURSES During studies at Chamberlain University, students are required to take a certain number of general education and sciences courses to fulfill their degree requirements. Based on our belief in quality practical education and well-rounded learning, Chamberlain University offers the convenience of taking these classes online or on-site, at some campuses.

“N” DESIGNATORS When registering for general education non-science courses, students will need to select the course with an “N” suffix designator (i.e., ENG-117N). The General Education coursework grading scale applies to courses with this designator.

COURSE DELIVERY FORMATS General education courses are available in hybrid or online formats. Nursing courses are offered in on-site or online formats. As a resource to our students to enhance online learning, all students are required to complete a Student Online Readiness Assessment prior to enrollment. The assessment is established to support students with skill building support as needed. NOTE: Not all nursing courses are available online.

On-site Students attend classes on-site at their campus or other designated clinical location.

Online Students are guided through assignments and textbook readings with the support of online professors and participate in related weekly discussions through electronic posts.

Hybrid Students meet with faculty face-to-face on-site each week while also participating in professor-guided online activities.
