Requirements for Admission to the University:
Admission to the EL-BSN program is a two step process. For
first time freshmen, the first step requires an application to the
University as a “pre-nursing” major. This application is normally
made in October-November of the year prior to the desired start date for first time
freshmen. For example, for students wishing to start the pre-nursing sequence in
Fall 2008, the application period was October 1, 2007 – November 30, 2007 Following
admission to the pre-nursing major as a freshman, you may complete the required
pre-requisite courses needed for admission to the nursing (EL-BSN) major in your
sophomore year.
Transfer students are an exception to this process because they do not take pre-requisite
courses at the University. Upper division transfer students apply
to the University October 1- November 30, 2008 and the Department of Nursing October
1- November 30, 2008 and must meet the requirements for admission to the University
and the Department of Nursing. Lower division transfer students submit
an application to the Department of Nursing only.
Requirements for Admission to the Department of Nursing:
The second step in the process requires an application to the Department
of Nursing for review/selection as an EL-BSN nursing major. Applications
to the Department of Nursing will be accepted October 1, 2008 – November 30, 2008
for Fall 2009. Review of applications will take place in Spring 2009 with forty-eight
(48) selected students admitted to the EL-BSN nursing major beginning Fall 2009.
Applicants will be screened according to the Supplemental Admission Criteria
included in the attached EL-BSN application package.
