[color=#464646]i am looking at a school and these are the requirements:
[color=#464646]
three university transfer first year courses* equivalent to 18.0 credits, which include the following:
[color=#464646]- english 1127 and 1229 or equivalent with a minimum c+ or better in each course
[color=#464646]- biology 1120 and 1220 (human anatomy & physiology), or equivalent within the last five years with a minimum c+ or better in each course
[color=#464646]- two semesters (6.0 credits) of a humanities course (psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, or another humanities course) with a minimum c+ or better in each semester.
[color=#464646]now does that just mean that i need three university courses out of the list or three plus the english,biology,and humanities?

If you need 18 credits, then that will have to be more than 3 classes. I would call the nursing department at the university (right now) and have them clear up this contradiction.

It means you need 18 transfer credits, which is to include the english, biology, and anatomy & physiology (typically you would need 2 semester of this, so anywhere from 6 to 8 credits depending on if labs are required, which I haven't seen a case in which they weren't -the biology probably requires a lab too! The reamining balance of credits can probably be made up of any other science credits, but because it didn't specify that, it's possible that you can use any credit that corresponds to a course offered at the university) ...
AND you need 6 humanities credits, which can include any from the list. In all, you will need 24 credits.
That's what I got from it, but I definitely recommend you calling the school to verify this. Good luck!
