as transfer credits will be allowed. In the LCP program, only courses
from an accredited college or university and ICHCC approved program
are transferable to a maximum of 4 semester credit hours as transfer
credits will be allowed.

How long will I
have to study each week?
You can expect to study 3-4 hours for each hour spent in class; this
time is increased if there is a paper or other major assignment involved.
Is there an internship
requirement?
Since most students work full time or have other significant responsibilities
during the day, we do not require an internship. We are, however,
able to provide internships to most students who are interested in
obtaining one.
How will I be graded?
Most classes are graded utilizing the standard grading scale. Certain
classes are graded on a Pass/Fail basis and will not impact a student’s
grade point average.

classes?

May I attend part-time?
While the CULS Legal Nurse Consultant Program encourages its students
to attend full-time, a part-time option is available. Ask the Program
Director for details!
