Pre-licensure ADN

All applicants will be reviewed in an individual and holistic manner.  No single factor will determine a student's admission.  Academic criteria (cumulative GPA, grades earned in science courses, and failed/repeated courses) are important factors in admissions consideration.  Below are the academic admissions considerations for the R.N. to B.S.N. track:

Admission Requirements for applicants who are Pre-Licensure ADN
