Nursing – Traditional

Freshman eligibility is determined by the Office of Enrollment Services. Admission requirements are stated elsewhere in this Bulletin. High school mathematics, chemistry and biology courses are strongly recommended, along with other college preparatory courses in social science, history, literature, and English composition. Students are strongly encouraged to see an academic advisor in the College of Nursing on a regular basis.

Transfers from other institutions must apply through the Office of Enrollment Services. Review of transcripts by the College of Nursing will determine the amount of credit allowed for the pre-nursing requirements. Students planning to transfer from other universities are encouraged to contact the College of Nursing as soon as possible for advisement on transfer of credits.

Professional Program

Admission to the professional program occurs in both Summer and Fall. Pre-nursing students must formally apply for admission to the professional program, typically during the sophomore year, and meet the deadlines and requirements for the admission cycle. To be eligible for consideration for an interview and admission, applicants must have completed at least 3 of the 5 required science courses in the pre-nursing curriculum and have no more than 18 hours of pre-nursing coursework outstanding. Auburn Nursing uses a holistic review to assess applicants for admission. Student experiences, transcripts, and traditional and situational interviews are included in the admission process to provide a holistic viewpoint.  Students are encouraged to learn more about this process by reading the applicant workbook found on the College of Nursing website. Applicant interviews will be conducted once per year in late Fall or early Spring semester. Due to limited enrollment, all students who meet minimum requirements may not be interviewed or admitted.

Students will be notified of admission decisions in writing by March 1. Those applicants admitted must successfully complete all pre-nursing courses with a C or higher before entering the upper division.
