provides didactic/theory instruction shall hold a minimum of a graduate degree,
and the program shall ensure that the majority of the didactic/theory faculty

faculty member shall hold a minimum of a baccalaureate degree in nursing or an
equivalent standing in a nationally nursing accredited ADN to MSN nursing
