Admission to the program is extremely competitive and will be based on the student's GPA and overall academic work.

- Prerequisites require a minimum grade of "C" or its equivalent and may not be taken on a Credit/No Credit basis.

The licensing exam (NCLEX-RN) must be completed and proof of passing the exam must be submitted to the School of Nursing by the end of the first semester or a student will be unable to progress in the program.
- Due to a federal restriction against issuing F-1 student visas for international students in online programs, students applying to this program must provide documentation of one of the following categories: (1) U.S. Citizenship, (2) Permanent Residency or (3) Granted asylum, refugee status, temporary protected status, withholding of removal, deferred enforced departure, or deferred action status by the U.S. Government.
