Preparing for Nursing School Admission
Before Enrolling
Please speak with your advisor prior to registering for online prerequisite classes. If you intend to continue your nursing education at another institution, we suggest also speaking with your college’s registrar about their transfer credit policies and reviewing the sample syllabi. Reviewing transfer credit policies and course syllabi in advance helps ensure your nursing prerequisite courses align with your long-term academic and career goals.
We recommend taking no more than two nursing prerequisite courses at a time due to the accelerated delivery format. With 12 start times throughout the year, you can begin classes at a pace that supports your success and helps you move toward nursing school sooner.
