Students must complete a formal application to the College of Nursing and be approved for admission by the College before enrolling in the nursing curriculum. The College also requires a personal essay designed to provide the Admissions Committee with additional information. The College will award additional points for a student who qualified for admission within the last two years. The nursing program admits students once a year to fill the fall and spring classes. The number of students admitted is determined by the availability of faculty and clinical facilities.
Selection is made on the basis of academic record and submission of the required essay.
Contact the College of Nursing Director of Student Affairs or your adviser for the specifics of the selection process and procedures. Admission of Transfer Students.
