Science Classes
The School of Nursing requires that students earn at least a C+ on the first attempt in CHE 100, BIO 225, BIO 226, ad BIO 214. If students do not earn at least a C+ they will need to change their major at Marian University. In the past this has been true for about 25% of our incoming students.
STUDY!
You probably have heard a great deal that high school and college are different. In high school you spend a lot of your time physically in class. In college you are required to spend a lot more time outside of class reading your text, studying for tests, and learning information if you want to do well. Many of you may not really know how to take on this task. We would suggest that you consider using the Learning and Counseling Center on campus to access peer tutoring opportunities and to learn helpful information about how to study and manage your time.
