Traditional BSN Track

Traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)

All students who wish to enter the School of Nursing Traditional BSN Program must apply and be accepted at the upper division level. This generally occurs during the second year of full-time study at the University. Students are first enrolled at GSW as Pre-Nursing Students. This allows the student to satisfy the Core curriculum requirements in the first two years of study as well as the required nursing courses necessary for admission into the Traditional BSN Program. Advisors for Pre-Nursing students are faculty of the SON; therefore giving the student a mentor who can help them successfully navigate their Model Program of Study. ...............................

Transfer students may need to take a semester of nursing pre-requisite courses at GSW prior to the semester they wish to start the nursing program (NURS 2600 , NURS 2700, NURS 3005 must be taken at GSW prior to starting the Nursing program). Transfer students are encouraged to apply to GSW for an earlier semester, in order to complete those courses.

   Full acceptance is offered when all criteria are met

  Conditional  acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of unmet criteria

There are two admission cycles for generic students, fall and spring. Students anticipating qualifying for entrance in the fall semester must apply for admission to the program by the announced deadline, usually in January or February.  Students anticipating qualifying for entrance in the spring semester must apply for admission by the announced deadline, usually in late August or September. Students should contact the School of Nursing Student Services Coordinator for application instructions and deadlines, which will also be posted on the School of Nursing website.
