GPA for Ranking

The GPA for ranking will now be based on four prerequisite courses. Therefore, to apply to the Nursing program for 2012-2013, these prerequisites must be completed by the end of Fall Semester 2011.  The GPA of these four prerequisite courses will be weighted at 50% of the applicant ranking.

The GPA for the Selective Admissions ranking will be based on the following prerequisite courses:

  • HHSC-1040 Introduction to the Profession of Nursing
  • ENGL-1180 Communications or ENGL-1210 Composition I
  • BIOL-2730 Pathogenic Microbiology or BIOL-2400 General Microbiology
  • BIOL-2710 Human Physiological Anatomy

HESI Admission Assessment Test

The HESI Admission Assessment Test (A2) administered for the 2012-2013 Selective Admissions cycle will test Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, General Knowledge and Anatomy and Physiology. The composite score will be weighted at 50% of the applicant ranking.  The HESI A2 will continue to include the Learning and Personality Style Profiles for the benefit of the student.  The Profile is not included in the composite score.
