Pre-Nursing
Admission to the pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is a competitive process. Prior to applying for admissions to the nursing program, students must complete the pre-nursing courses. Students enrolled in pre-nursing courses choose either Pre-Nursing Public Health or Pre-Nursing Human Services as a major. After accepting the BSN admissions offer, students change their major to Nursing. At this time, students are admitted twice yearly in the Fall and Spring semesters. The timeline for applications can be found on the Nursing Department website. Applications for the program are weighted and ranked according to criteria such as overall GPA, GPA on the four science courses, statistics and Lifespan Development, a written narrative, and TEAS 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 continue as a Public Health or Human Service major.
