Nursing (ABSN), B.S.N.

Admission to the ABSN

Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the Nursing major. A student must apply for admission to the upper division of the Nursing program during the fall semester in which the student takes the pre-Nursing “bridge courses” – NURS 2010 , NURS 2020 , NURS 2201 , and NURS 2030 .
 
Students will be notified, in writing, of admission status. The availability of clinical and instructional resources influence class size; therefore, it is impossible to guarantee admission to every student who meets the requirements.
