Nursing Honors

(For Basic BSN Program Students)

The Honors Program in Nursing affords exceptional nursing students opportunities to demonstrate leadership in nursing administration, education and research through guided independent study, experiences, and research above the regular curriculum. Students must be admitted to the University Honors Program before consideration for the Honors Program in Nursing. Further information may be obtained from the section entitled University Honors Scholars Program in this Catalog. Honors Program students who wish to earn the Bachelor of Science in Nursing must complete nursing program prerequisites and apply and be accepted to the UM-Flint Nursing Program and the Honors Program in Nursing. These students must maintain University of Michigan-Flint Honors Program standards, complete all University Honors Program requirements for graduation, and all Department of Nursing requirements for the BSN. In addition, students in the Honors Program in Nursing, with the guidance of an Honors Advisor, design an independent program of study to define, explore and test an area of nursing practice, education, and administration through nursing courses open only to honors students.
