Students need 125 credit hours (59 in general education courses and 66 in nursing courses) to graduate.
UTampa's nursing students continue to outpace state and national first-time passage rates on the National Council Licensure Examination, the test all nurses must take to become licensed to work.

Opportunities in a variety of settings position the well-prepared nurse to enhance access to excellent health care for all. One such opportunity is the valuable hands-on lessons during annual travel courses to various destinations like Ghana, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.
