‘Were’ is the second person past tense of the verb ‘to be’
Example: you were waiting
Or in a question: were you waiting?
The conjugations for ‘to be’:
I was
You were
He/she was
They were
It doesn’t really make sense in the sentence.
It would be better written like this:
At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year where you switch to the nursing school from another department.
Hope this helps!!
