A number of factors, including regulatory agencies’ requirements, avail-ability of clinical sites, and university resources dictate the number of candidates who can be accepted into the B.S.N. program. Because the number of applications exceeds the number of candidates that can be accepted into the program, each complete application submitted by the deadline of February 15 for fall and September 15 for spring, meeting the above pre-acceptance requirements, will be evaluated by a faculty committee utilizing an objective scoring system. Points are awarded in a number of areas including:

  • non-nursing curriculum course work grade point average (GPA)
  • number of non-nursing semester credit hours completed with a “C” or better,
  • 500-600 word Personal Statement addressing the three following questions:
  • How has your life experiences shaped who you are today? Include any activities such as community, volunteer, military, healthcare, etc. that you feel make you a strong candidate.
  • How do you see yourself contributing to the profession of nursing?
  • Why should you be admitted to this program?
  • grades in pre-requisite science courses,
  • number of withdrawals and failures on transcripts.

Top scoring candidates will be accepted into the B.S.N. program and will receive written notification by March 15 for fall and October 1 for spring. These candidates must complete and return the acceptance form by the stated deadline date or their position will be forfeited. After this date, all applicants not accepted will need to submit a new application form to be considered for the next required nursing course sequence.
