For a student-athlete
Coaches ask what you want to study because it decides whether a school can work at all. Check the field here, then the exact program below — "nursing" and "pre-nursing" are different pages of a catalogue. Practice schedules and clinical placements or labs are a real conflict; ask the coach how players in that major manage it.
