    4600 meets that requirement. Tier II - has to be a class with the J designation in the class number. I took the junior level composition

  24. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    I was one of the lucky ones that was able to test out of Health Assessment - so I didn't have to take it. Having said that - all classes at OU - how good or how hideous - are entirely TA dependent....
  25. Call the BON in Augusta and ask. Frontier is approved in this state - I just had a friend graduate from that program. Not sure about Walden or Kaplan. There are a couple of FNP programs in Maine,...
