Pre-Nursing Student Orientation

Admission Requirements

The Traditional BSN Program is a competitive four year degree which includes a year of pre-nursing classes and an application to the baccalaureate program. Students can complete the pre-requisite courses as incoming freshmen admitted as Pre-Nursing majors, or as transfer students into the College of Nursing from another UC College or University.

Transfer students wishing to enter Pre-Nursing must show evidence of grade point averages of at least 3.0 or better in current college courses. It is also possible to complete these courses as any major through the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences and Raymond Walters, Clermont College or another University and apply directly to the BSN program.
