Nursing Majors RAP Fall 2019

This RAP is an option for students who have been admitted to UMass Amherst as a first-year Nursing Major.

When you join the Nursing Majors RAP you will:

  • Enroll in a one-credit faculty-led seminar designed specifically for this program. The seminar NURS 150, whether or not you join the RAP, is required for nursing majors.
  • Share a living-and-learning experience with a community of peers committed to improving the lives of others through important and meaningful work.
  • Work closely with senior faculty in the College of Nursing.

By choosing to pursue a career in Nursing, you have demonstrated your desire to make a difference in the lives around you - as well as in your own life!

Through the Nursing Majors RAP seminar, students will get to know faculty and learn a wealth of information about the Nursing program at UMass Amherst. We hope that all our incoming Nursing majors will give serious consideration to this wonderful opportunity.
