Detailed Requirements for Traditional Students
Applicants for admission to the pre-nursing program must meet the general admission
requirements for admission to the University. For the first three semesters, a pre-nursing

sciences.
Applicants for admission to the professional program, in addition to meeting the requirements
for admission to the University, must fulfill the requirements of the pre-nursing
curriculum. An applicant must possess a minimum, corrected cumulative grade point
average of 2.8 in all required pre-nursing courses, and no grade of less than C will
