Notes about Admission Requirements: Admission requirements listed below are for entry into the nursing coursework for the BSN Pre-Licensure Program. Students who do not meet these requirements or who need to complete the necessary program pre-requisite courses should review general college admission requirements.

Students should review the basic requirements below along with the additional pre-requisite and nursing program entrance requirements listed below this section.

Admission Requirements

An applicant must be a high school graduate with a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.7 or a general equivalency diploma (GED) recipient with a score of 570 (score of 57 prior to 2002). If an applicant’s GPA or GED score is below the minimum, he/she may be eligible for admission under transfer student guidelines.

Transfer Student Guidelines

A transfer student must be a high school graduate or a GED recipient and have earned a minimum of 15 credit hours of college coursework from a regionally accredited college, with a GPA of at least 2.7. For applicants who have attended more than one regionally accredited college, GPAs from all colleges must combine to equal at least 2.7.

The BSN pre-licensure nursing program Admission’s Committee will not consider an applicant for admission into the program if an applicant has failed two or more nursing courses or has been dismissed from another nursing program in the past five (5) years prior to the expected date of enrollment at Mercy College.

The student’s entire academic record will be reviewed in selecting candidates for the program. Research demonstrates that students with multiple science and/or math course failures are more at risk for being unsuccessful in a nursing program. Because of the competitive nature of the nursing program, previous course failures within the required program of study in the past seven (7) years prior to the expected date of enrollment at Mercy College might prevent an applicant’s acceptance into the program. Admission into the nursing program is not guaranteed.
