6 Additional Electives Necessary to meet 60 credit hours (typically 9-12 hours): Electives can be chosen according to the student s particular interest or needs. Electives must be transferable to KU. Examples of such elective areas of study are foreign language, philosophy, literature, creative writing, history, speech, physics, mathematics, political science, biological sciences, and economics. A maximum of 8 non-liberal arts credits will be accepted in the 60 hours required for admission. These 8 credits may be courses in physical education, first-aid, health education, technique courses in art and music, and professional fields other than nursing such as journalism and business. JCCC students have the option to complete two of the RN to BSN program courses at either JCCC or KU. Taking these courses at JCCC will NOT reduce the total credit hours required to earn your degree. If BIOL 227 Pathophysiology and/or BIOL 240 Pharmacology are taken at JCCC, these courses count as electives and are applied towards the 60 total credit hours of liberal arts courses required. These courses must be completed prior to enrolling at KU. You will not be required to repeat these courses at KU, but will be required to complete nursing specific electives at KU. If NURS 320 Pathophysiology and/or NURS 326 Pharmacology are taken at KU, these courses fulfill nursing department requirements and do not count towards your liberal arts credit hours. Both courses are taken following admission to KU. All 60 credit hours of your required electives must be fulfilled by JCCC liberal arts courses prior to admission to KU.
