Nursing, Dual Degree

Biology students at the University of Dallas can earn two degrees: a BA degree in Biology from UD and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree from Texas Women's University in an integrated program that can be completed in five years.

“Nurses are the heart of health care.”

The Coursework

The total number of credit hours in the suggested curriculum is 174, with 100 credit hours taken at UD and 74 credit hours at TWU. Students will complete nursing prerequisites along with Core requirements for an undergraduate degree from the University of Dallas in their first three years in the program.
