1. Overall GPA of 2.5 from all college courses completed and applicable to the nursing degree plan. Transcripts reflecting all courses completed must be submitted.
2. Completion of the PSB - Nursing School Aptitude Examination with a satisfactory result within one calendar year of application.
3. Completed application with transcripts from all colleges attended.
4. Completion of the four pre-entrance courses with a grade of "C" or above. These courses include: MATH 1342; BIOL 2401, BIOL 2402, and BIOL 2421. A grade of C in each of these courses, however, equates to a 2.0 pre-entrance GPA which will not be considered as meeting admission requirements. The cumulative GPA must be 2.5 or above. Applications will be considered if at least three of the four pre-entrance courses are completed and the fourth one is in progress. Admission is competitive!
5. Submitting immunization records with application.

Application must be made by January 31 for Fall entry or July 31 for Spring entry consideration. Applicants are notified by mail within 6 weeks after the deadline regarding their acceptance into the program. The selection committee reserves the right to make final selection of all candidates.

Biology (Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology I & II) and Math courses are accepted only if taken within five years prior to entry into the nursing program. Students concurrently enrolled in BIOL 2402 and BIOL 2421 in a given semester must withdraw from both courses if BIOL 2402 is dropped. Seek advising from your biology professor for further information. BIOL 1406 is not required if Anatomy and Physiology I & II are already completed. Pre-entrance courses taken at other institutions must be evaluated for equivalent transfer credit prior to applying for the program; students should visit the Degree Plan Coordinator in Student Services to evaluate transfer courses.
