Application
The Basic Licensure Track of the BSN program admits two cohorts each year. Program admission is separate from University admission. Program applications are available online during designated time periods with corresponding NET dates.
Acceptance to this program is competitive, meaning that the most highly qualified applicants will be accepted into the class. Eligibility requirements include completion of core curriculum prior to program enrollment. Size and quality of applicant pool varies, so chance of admission is fluid. Typically, cohorts of 40-45 students are selected from 100-300 applicants.
| Fall Application | Available January-February |
| Spring Application | Available September-October |
