Arts & Sciences: General Education Classes

Choose a college focused purely on nursing. At Galen College of Nursing, your curriculum includes the Arts & Sciences classes (aka, General Education) that support a nurse’s professional growth.

You take these courses alongside nursing courses. They are part of what registered nurses are expected to know, so we build them into all ADN & BSN degree programs.

Develop as a Nurse

The robust A&S Department has a mission to broaden your education beyond what is predictable. In your gen eds, you develop critical thinking and decision-making skills that help you to solve problems in the face of clinical challenges.

Your talented and experienced Arts & Sciences (A&S) faculty build courses that support your growth as a professional. For example, your psychology professor at Galen knows you will take what you learn in Developmental Psychology (PSY 2305) and apply it to your work.

As a professional nurse, you may have to spot dose calculation errors or an unexpected lab value. The math and physiology classes you take at Galen help you understand the systematic models behind those numbers, so you can make sense of and resolve deviations from the pattern.

By the time you graduate, you’re equipped to handle the expected and the unusual—like a professional.
