The Traditional Pathway is a full-time, 24-month Bachelor of Science option, designed for students who may or may not have earned a degree in the past. This program includes classroom, clinical simulation, and clinical practice as part of the curriculum. The Traditional Pathway program will be primarily offered at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. However, Traditional students may be required to attend some classes or labs at the CU South Denver location in Lone Tree. Students interested in the Traditional Pathway option apply through NursingCAS before the application deadline. Once admitted, students begin their program the following summer semester. The pace of the Traditional Pathway facilitates the integration of learning and acknowledges that students balance a number of responsibilities while completing their nursing education. However, please note that this is a full-time program of study; many students find it difficult to work more than 10-20 hours per week.
