How high does my grade point average (GPA) have to be to get into the nursing program?
Admission to the nursing program is academically competitive and will be based on academic qualifications. The first step in the admission process will be an evaluation of a student’s overall grade point average (all attempts at all courses). A student whose overall grade point average is 2.50 or higher will progress in the acceptance process and have a nursing grade point average calculated (all attempts at core courses applicable to the nursing program). A student who’s overall and nursing grade point average is 2.50 or higher will be conditionally accepted. A student whose overall and/or nursing grade point average is below 2.50 will be denied acceptance to the program. A student must achieve a minimum grade of a C in all core courses applicable to the nursing program. When space limits the acceptance of all qualified applicants, those meeting the minimum requirements will be ranked according to their nursing grade point average (any attempt at the core courses applicable to the nursing curriculum). Achievement of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
