Admission Requirements - pre-nursing program 

SFA’s highly selective nursing program is divided into two components: pre-nursing and nursing. All incoming students are considered pre-nursing students. As a pre-nursing student, you’ll be required to complete all the core coursework and prerequisites needed to apply to the nursing program and you’ll need a minimum prerequisite GPA of 2.5 and a minimum GPA of 2.75 in all science classes. All pre-nursing students interested in applying to the nursing program must take the Test of Essential Academic Skills Admissions Assessment.

Once you complete at least three science courses and are in the last semester of prerequisites, you can apply to the nursing program. 

Assigned pass/fail grades for spring or summer 2020?

In accordance with School of Nursing admission requirements, a letter grade of C or higher is required for all prerequisite courses. If you were assigned pass/fail grades for the spring 2020 or summer 2020 semesters, you must provide a detailed explanation of the grading scale for the pass/fail system from the registrar’s office of that institution. A pass grade that includes letter grades below a C will not be accepted for admission into the nursing program. If the institution identified a pass grade as a C or above, all passing grades will be calculated at the value of a C for GPA determination.

End-of-Program Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the program, students will:

  1. Apply knowledge of the physical, social, and behavioral sciences in the provision of nursing care based on theory and evidence-based practice;
  2. Deliver nursing care within established legal and ethical parameters in collaboration with clients and members of the interdisciplinary health care team;
  3. Provide holistic nursing care to clients while respecting individual and cultural diversity;
