How many students are in a class?
At Denver School of Nursing, all programs include traditional didactic classes in the classroom, classes in the learning skills lab, and clinical classes at appropriate health care facilities. At DSN you’ll find that our class sizes are smaller than most universities. Classes are scheduled per starting cohort of students and students track through the program together in all didactic, lab and clinical classes for the length of their program. This allows students to form friendships, study groups, and groups that may carpool together. Our clinical classes are offered to smaller groups of students and groups may vary from 3-6 in size.
Our classes are seminar style classes, averaging twenty-five students. Practice classes are capped at 20 to 21 students. This is a plan to promote the valuable classroom interaction and exchange between faculty and students. In other words, be prepared to participate, raise critical questions, and share your ideas and learning.
