ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

The academic map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progression to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Nursing is a Specialized Admissions major. This Nursing academic map is designed to guide you from your first semester to graduation within four years. To progress on the nursing map, you must complete all milestones by the end of each semester. Milestones include required prerequisite coursework and minimum overall GPA. Please refer to the College of Nursing website (nursing.fsu.edu) for more information regarding admission requirements and application deadlines.

Please note:
• Students must complete all Nursing prerequisites with a final grade of C or better. A final grade of C minus (C-) will not be accepted.
• Students must have an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 to be eligible to apply to the College of Nursing.
• Students must complete all Nursing prerequisites by the end of the semester in which they submit their application.
• Students must complete all general education requirements by the end of the semester in which they submit their application.
