Pre-Nursing
Admission to the pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is a competitive process. Students take University Studies and support courses before applying to the nursing program. At this time, students are admitted once yearly in the Fall. The deadline for application is in the mid May and published on the Nursing Department website. Applications for the program are weighted and ranked according to criteria such as overall GPA, GPA on support courses, a written narrative, and HESI A2 scores. The number of students admitted is dependent upon several factors: faculty numbers, classroom space, and clinical facility space. Students not selected for the BSN program may re-apply in subsequent years or may meet with an advisor to select an alternative major of their choice.
