Admission Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Students who seek admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program should do the following:
- Complete BIOL 2251K Anatomy & Physiology I with a grade of "C" or better1,
- Complete BIOL 2252K Anatomy & Physiology II with a grade of "C" or better1,
- Complete BIOL 2260K Foundations of Microbiology with a grade of "C" or better1,
- Complete PSYC 1101 Introduction to General Psychology,
- Complete at least 34 out of the 42 overall credit hours in the Core IMPACTS areas,
- Complete the Evolve Reach A2 Assessment Test with scores of 75% or better on the three required sections (math, reading, and grammar),
- Earn an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher, and
- Earn a Program GPA2 of 2.75 or higher.
Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is competitive and based on limited program capacity. Completing the required coursework does not guarantee acceptance.
1 BIOL 2251K Anatomy & Physiology I, BIOL 2252K Anatomy & Physiology II, and BIOL 2260K Foundations of Microbiology must be completed no more than 7 years prior to starting the nursing program. If a course has expired, the course will need to be repeated, and only the most recent grade earned will be used for the program GPA. Students may only earn a D, F, or WF from one of these courses once; earning a D, F, or WF in two of these courses will make a student ineligible to apply to the BSN program for five years.
2 The Program GPA is determined based on all courses that will be counted toward Core IMPACTS, Field of Study, and Major Requirements in the BSN.
