Applying While students are admitted to the College every term, admission to the B.S.N. program is selective and competitive. When the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number that can be accommodated in clinical courses, priority is based on grade point average. Applications are reviewed to determine that students have satisfied prenursing requirements in conduct, health, scholastic achievement, and aptitude for nursing. Students are admitted to the M.S.N. program each term with regular or provisional status. Admission is selective and competitive.
