MAN programs are composed of core, major, and elective. Core courses are foundation courses for both majors (specialization) and should be taken by all students. Major courses are specialization courses and are divided into (1) adult health nursing major, (2) maternal and child nursing, (3) nursing administration and (4) gerontology and geriatrics nursing. Elective courses are special nursing or nursing-related courses (from other disciplines) that students are allowed to choose from to suit their needs and strengthen their program of study.
The program consists of thirty (30) units of course work and six (6) units of thesis. There are four core courses (12 units), four major courses (12 units), and two elective courses (6 units), and a thesis (6 units).
