Cooperative Degree Program in Nursing and
Allied Health Sciences
Rush University in Chicago has established with Cornell College and certain other liberal arts schools the nation's first network of colleges and universities affiliated in a coordinated program in nursing and medical technology, emphasizing a basic science background and creativity in caring for patients. Students spend at least two years at Cornell College for studies in the liberal arts and then transfer to the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences of Rush University where, after an additional two years of professional training, they will receive the University's degree of Bachelor of Science.
To be eligible for promotion to the nursing and medical technology programs at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, a student must complete a minimum of 15 course credits (including those described below) and earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Admission to any of the Rush University programs is not automatic but is competitive and based upon grade point average, the recommendations of the chairs of Cornell's departments of Biology and Chemistry, and the approval of the Admissions Committee of Rush University.
The course requirements for nursing are: BIO 141 and 142 (Foundations I and II), 312 (Vertebrate Zoology), 324 (Comparative Animal Physiology), and 326 (Microbiology); CHE 121 and 122 (Chemical Principles I and II) or 161 (Accelerated General Chemistry), and 225 (Organic Chemistry I); PSY 161 (General Psychology); EDU 215 (Educational Psychology); INT 201 (Statistical Methods) or 211 (Fundamentals of Statistics); and three courses in social science, selected from anthropology, psychology, and sociology.
The course requirements for medical technology are: three course credits in Biology, to include 326 (Microbiology); CHE 121 and 122 (Chemical Principles I and II) or 161 (Accelerated General Chemistry), 202 (Analytical Chemistry), and 225, 326, and 327 (Organic Chemistry I, II, and Laboratory); and INT 201 (Statistical Methods) or 211 (Fundamentals of Statistics). Suggested electives include BIO 315 (Genetics); CHE 334 (Biochemistry); and courses in sociology, psychology, physics, and English.
Five or six courses of electives chosen from English, foreign languages, history, philosophy, religion, art, music, speech, and theatre are strongly recommended for either nursing or medical technology.
Rush University comprises Rush Medical College, Rush College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, and Rush Graduate College. The University offers master's and doctor's degrees in nursing and provides facilities for research which are available to Cornell students and faculty. Program Advisor: Barbara Christie-Pope
