Do these colleges include pre-requisites in the program?

1) Alfred State (SUNY)

https://www.alfredstate.edu/academics/major?ID=Nursing-%20AAS

This is stated on that page:

"The associate’s degree in nursing (AAS) can be completed within a 2+2 format which includes two years of associate degree level coursework, at which time students earn an AAS degree and are eligible to take their registered nurse licensing exam (NCLEX) and then two years of bachelor level coursework to earn their RN-BSN degree. An alternate format which is being greatly emphasized for student retention and success with progression through the nursing program and NCLEX success, is the 1+2+1 format. The student completes the required arts and sciences courses including anatomy and physiology in the first year and then in years 2 and 3 takes specific nursing courses with bachelor level coursework integrated, and at the completion of year 3, earns their AAS degree and is eligible to take the registered nurse licensing exam (NCLEX). The student then returns for year 4 and earns their RN-BSN degree. Students have found the 1+2+1 program to meet their needs for assimilation into college, learning anatomy and physiology before taking nursing courses, and completing both their AAS and BSN in four years."

Does this mean the prerequisites are included in the first year of the program?

2) UMass Amherst

http://www.umass.edu/nursing/programs/traditional-undergraduate-track

This is stated on the page:

"This traditional undergraduate track begins with a two-year pre-clinical plan designed to help you select appropriate courses on a semester-by-semester basis.

Required science courses need to be taken in the appropriate sequence.

General Education requirements need not be taken in a specific order, but must be completed by the end of the first two years of study because the Nursing requirements in the junior and senior years constitute full course loads each semester.

The final two years of study focus exclusively on nursing theory and clinical nursing courses to prepare you to graduate and take the NCLEX-RN Professional Nursing Licensure exam."

The answers might seem obvious to you, sorry I'm making so many threads, I just have so many questions and know nothing about this stuff yet.

Call the schools, ask for the nursing department and ask your questions.
