Applying to the Nursing Program

Nursing Program application is now based on holistic admissions. This means students applying to the nursing program will be evaluated on more than academic requirements. Students who meet the minimum academic requirements will complete an assessment and consideration of non-academic attributes, achievements, and experiences which will provide information for making admissions decisions inclusively and holistically. We look forward to receiving your application!
