A minimum of 6 credits must be taken at the university in both the Fall and Spring semesters. Two of the four science prerequisites must be taken at the university.\u00a0 The applicant pool is not limited to pre-nursing students. The decision to admit an applicant to the Nursing major is made by the DON.<\/p>\n<p>Admission to nursing is competitive with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 required to be considered for acceptance. Students are ranked according to GPA and successful completion of all prerequisites. Qualified students may not be accepted because of a limited number of clinical placements and limited DON resources.<\/p>\n<p>In evaluating students for acceptance into the nursing program, the following criteria are used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GPA<\/li>\n<li>Completion of prerequisite courses (from next page)<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation of overall academic record including number of course withdrawals\/<strong>repeating of courses<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Academic<strong> history<\/strong> at other colleges and universities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students must earn at least a C+ in the four science prerequisite courses (BIO 105, BIO 106, CHE 120, and CHE 121) for consideration of acceptance.
