We recommend that applicants submit their applications at least 18 months prior to the term they are hoping to start for the upper division BSN program and for the accelerated BSN program. We accept applications as long as we still have space available in our class or on the waiting list. The only deadlines that we strictly enforce are for the following programs:

No, we will only accept a college transcript that arrives in our office in a sealed envelope from the college. We will also accept electronic transcripts as long as the link to the transcript is emailed to us directly from the college and proper security measures are in place. Electronic transcripts can be sent to the Admissions Office at [email protected].
