Online Nursing Courses

Some courses in the Nursing curriculum are taught online. A course is classified as online when 85% to 100% of the course content is delivered using this approach. These courses will require the student to come to campus for course orientation and testing. It is important you are aware of this and prepare yourself to take classes using this delivery platform. Please take the Online Readiness Assessment.

As required by 34 CFR 668.43(c): Del Mar College has not yet made the determination if the curriculum of this program meets the educational requirements for licensure or certification in any U.S. Territory or state other than Texas.
