四年制护理学学士学位是为没有护理学分的学生设计的。高中毕业生和转学生首先使用常规的UT本科招生申请书向大学申请。一旦满足或几乎满足所有要求，学生便会正式向护理部门提出申请。学生需要125个学分（普通教育课程为60学分，护理课程为65学分）才能毕业。
The Four-Year Bachelor of Science in Nursing is designed for students without nursing college credit. High school graduates and transfer students first apply to the University by using the regular UTampa undergraduate admissions application. Students formally apply to the nursing department once all pre-nursing requirements have been met or nearly met. 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. UTampa's NCLEX passage rate for the past five years is 95%, continuing to surpass national and state trends. UTampa's nursing programs prepare students to respond to diverse healthcare needs. 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.
