Students usually are notified of the outcome of their application after May 1. Students must apply first to Armstrong Atlantic State University, and after acceptance apply to its Department of Nursing. There are two separate applications. In addition to grades, science GPA, hours completed at AASU, and previous bachelor's degree are factors considered for admission to Nursing. Students usually are notified of the outcome of their application in the middle of the Fall semester preceding the Spring semester for which they applied.
Grades are the primary factor in admission.
No more than three core courses in the humanities and social sciences must remain to be completed before beginning the Nursing program. The remaining core courses may be taken during the summer between the junior and senior years. Students usually are notified of the outcome of their application within two weeks of the time their application is complete. Full-time Nursing students complete the program in four semesters beginning in the Fall semester. Part-time Nursing students complete the program in seven semesters and begin in the Spring semester.
