Change of Major into TCU Nursing

[/QUOTE]

A student who wishes to change to the nursing major must meet with a nursing advisor prior to changing major. Students who do not enter TCU as a freshman nursing major will need to be aware of the following requirements:

Students must have an established TCU GPA of at least a 2.5 and complete a minimum of one semester of coursework at TCU.
Change of major requests must be completed by February 1 for the spring semester and October 1 for the fall semester.
Students who enter the nursing major after the first semester of their freshman year will be on a four and a half year plan. In this scenario a student would be able to complete all TCU core classes prior to beginning nursing clinicals.
Here is a list of prerequisite courses that may be taken prior to declaring Nursing as a major.

PSYC 10213 – General Psychology
SOCI 20213 – Introductory Sociology
NTDT 20403 – Nutrition
MATH 10043 – Elementary Statistics
BIOL 20234 – Basic Microbiology
NURS 10303 – Human Development
*Please note that Anatomy & Physiology (BIOL 20204 and BIOL 20214) will not be available to non-declared nursing majors

So, your D could start as a bio major (or WHATEVER) and take the premed prereqs including the above (maybe saving nutrition and HD until she’s more sure) and then decide whether she wants to change to a nursing major…or proceed with premed track.

If she starts as a premed, what major will she choose?
