Admission
Applications to the PN Program are accepted between September 15th - 30th for spring semester (January) entry.
Admission is based on GPA, entrance testing, and patterns of grades earned in prerequisite coursework.

All prerequisite coursework must be completed prior to the start of program.
Screening criteria:
- Cumulative GPA of 2.25 or higher in all college level courses completed
- Grade of "C" or higher in all PN prerequisite coursework: English 101 (College Writing), core level mathematics, anatomy & physiology I (4 semester credits plus lab), general/organic/biochemistry (4 semester credits plus lab), and PSYC 101 (Introduction to Psychology)
