The Pre-Nursing pathway is a great option to earn admission to the program, while gaining invaluable educational experience in foundational healthcare professions content areas. Students who are admitted into the Pre-Nursing pathway will receive a conditional acceptance into the Nursing program. The conditions consist of earning a GPA of 3.21 in four courses taken directly from the list of required general education courses for nursing, including BIO 168 and BIO 169 - Anatomy and Physiology I and II, and two additional General Studies courses. The courses must be completed within two consecutive terms of starting the program at Carolinas College. Students who earn the 3.21 GPA must complete all nursing pre-enrollment requirements and the Chemistry pre-requisite prior to starting the nursing curriculum. Students who do not earn admission may change to the General Studies track to complete the associate degree.
