Requirements and restrictions School of Nursing

In addition to submitting a complete application for admission, freshman applicants to the School of Nursing should also review the following information regarding special application requirements and admission restrictions.

Pre-Professional Nursing

Entering freshmen must initially apply to and be accepted for admission as pre-nursing majors. Once enrolled as pre-nursing majors, students must complete a series of prerequisite courses before applying for admission to the School of Nursing and enrolling in professional nursing courses.

When students apply for admission to the Nursing major as college sophomores, their applications are evaluated based on overall performance, with particular focus on science courses and evidence of commitment to the profession.

Restricted Program: Pre-Nursing

Because admission to pre-nursing is so competitive, automatic admission for eligible Texas applicants is restricted to the most qualified applicants.
