Recommended Course Sequence
We provide a recommended course sequence, which serves as a guide toward program completion.
The sequence begins in fall term of each year with foundational and introductory courses, and builds towards more complicated material that is, in part, dependent upon student knowledge acquired in earlier courses.
The Midwifery Program is designed to be completed in three years by attending full-time and registering for all courses in the recommended sequence.
