We encourage all current and future Nursing applicants to consider enrolling first in the Liberal Arts: Humanities and Social Sciences program at Cayuga. Because the Nursing program is academically challenging, many students enroll in the Liberal Arts program first, to complete their prerequisite courses and Liberal Arts electives. This plan allows three years to complete the Nursing program.
