Students are admitted to the UW School of Nursing Autumn Quarter only, and the application deadline is January 15. Students must apply to both the UW and the School of Nursing. It is necessary to have completed all prerequisite course work before beginning the nursing program, but not before application. Due to the highly competitive nature of admission to UW School of Nursing, students are urged to complete the Option A degree in preparation for application to other nursing schools and other majors. It is also extremely advisable to gain practical experience in a health care field.

In addition to the above, a nutrition course and a statistics course are required. Nutrition is offered by the UW through independent study. No further foreign language is required for graduation. Students who need to complete this requirement may wish to take foreign language in addition to 20 credits of humanities for distribution. Otherwise, additional humanities courses will be required after transfer.
