All applications are reviewed by the Admission Committee, which consists of a panel of College faculty and designated individuals assigned by the Associate Dean of Nursing. The admission process for both programs is competitive, with a limited number of seats per term. The Admission Committee works in collaboration with the Registrar's Office to perform a holistic review of each applicant's credentials. The committee members look at every aspect of applicants’ qualifications, including their ATI - TEAS placement results.
