Program Overview
The BS1221 nursing major code is designed for individuals who are preparing to sit for the registered nurse (RN) licensing exam. Individuals will apply to the preBSN major (ND1220), complete specified college courses, and apply to be admitted to the BS1221 major. Admission to BS1221 is selective and determined by completion of a specified set of courses, a minimum grade point average of 2.75, successful score on the Health Education Systems Inc.-A2 (HESI A2) exam, an interview, a physical exam, a background check, and updated immunizations.
