Freshman Nursing Majors

A limited number of exceptional freshman students are eligible for direct admission to the nursing major. For those students, admission is based on outstanding academic and leadership performance, including a high school GPA of at least a 3.75 and an ACT composite score of at least a 28.

To continue as a nursing major, a student will be expected to maintain a cumulative minimum 3.0 GPA each semester and a 3.0 GPA on Decision courses, prior to entry into the first clinical course (NUR 315). None of the Prerequisites or Decision courses may be repeated more than once.
