4.  College of Nursing and Health Sciences Admission Requirements -- Professional Program

Formal application to the professional program must be made. Students are encouraged to apply during the semester in which 30 credits will be completed. The deadlines for filing applications to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences are December 1 and May 1 for the Eau Claire campus and October 1 for the Marshfield site. In order to be considered for admission to the nursing program, one must have:

  • Been accepted as a Pre-nursing student in the University.
  • Completed at least 30 semester credits with a total cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.00.
  • Completed at least three required natural science courses, two of which are laboratory science courses, with a grade point average of at least 2.50
  • Completed all application materials (Essay, health requirements, CPR certification, background checks) and submit application fee.

Other data utilized by the Admissions Committee are derived from a variety of sources that include applications for admission to the University and the nursing program, high school transcript showing rank in class, previous collegiate records, and standardized tests such as ACT or SAT.

The College may find it necessary to deny admission to a qualified applicant because of enrollment limits in the professional program.  Depending on the number of qualified applicants, it is likely that the GPA  required to be competitive for admission may be well above the 3.00 minimum cumulative GPA.
