Admission Exam

We will require candidates for direct entry into the BSN program, that meet the entrance requirements, to take the Test of Essential Academic Skills (T.E.A.S) exam. This test consists of 4 subject areas: Math, Science, Reading, and English Language Usage. Students will need to take all 4 sections. We will factor one’s performance on this test into our admission decision-making process. Please go to www.atitesting.com to find out more about this test and to obtain study material. They have a study manual and sample questions that you may purchase to use to prepare for this test.

WAITLIST PROCEDURE

We do not have a waitlist that rolls over from start term to start term. We do select a waitlist from the completed applications for that specific term in case additional spaces become available for the specific term. If someone is put on the waitlist and no spaces become available for them, their application is withdrawn and would need to go through the reactivation and review process all over again in order to be considered for the next term. Formerly waitlisted students are not given priority consideration when their file goes through the review process.
