Herzing University ADN-RN Nursing Program Prerequisites & Reviews.

Nursing Program

The Associate of Science in Nursing degree program trains students to incorporate nursing knowledge, critical thinking, and superior nursing skills to be used in a qualified health care setting. Students practice by taking part in planned clinical and laboratory experiences that balance classroom learning. These experiences border on health promotion and disease processes.

About The School

Herzing University was established in 1965 when it started as a computer training institute in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The name changed to Herzing Institute in 1970, and the institute started to grow by the acquisition of other schools.

The acquired schools include the Wisconsin School of Electronics in Madison, Wisconsin, which has a record dating back to 1948. Later, the Milwaukee location closed down for the Madison location but still maintains the system headquarters.

The name of the school changed to Herzing College in 1996, and since then the institution has developed to comprise campuses in eight states plus an online division sited with the system headquarters. The introduction of graduate programs led to the school’s current name, Herzing University in 2009 and later became a non-profit institution in 2005.

Total program cost is $13,670

Following are the minimum requirements for ADN-RN Nursing Program. Minimum admission standards include:

To be admitted to any Herzing University undergraduate program, a prospective student must complete an interview with a Herzing admissions advisor and fill out an application. The following factors are considered prior to acceptance:

• Prior Education Requirement: An applicant must have a U.S. high school diploma or the equivalent. The University recognizes the following equivalents to a high school diploma:

• A GED
• A certificate demonstrating that the student has passed a State-authorized examination (for example, the California High School Proficiency Exam) that the state recognizes as the equivalent of a high school diploma. Note that certificates of attendance and completion are not included in this qualifying category.
• An academic transcript of a student who has completed at least a two-year program that is acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree (i.e., an associate’s degree) from an accredited postsecondary institution.
• A foreign diploma or transcript that is equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma. International students must comply with all application requirements in the “International Undergraduate Student Admission” section of this catalog.

2    Entrance Testing: An applicant must demonstrate the capacity to succeed in college-level courses. This must be evidenced through one of the following methods:

• Successfully completing an entrance evaluation administered by Herzing University with examination scores deemed appropriate by the University.
• Submission of an ACT score of 17 or better or a combined SAT score of 1,275 or better in place of the College entrance evaluation. (The college placement evaluation is required for math and English placement.)
• Successful completion of a minimum of 24.00 semester credit hours of college-level work with grades of “C” or higher at nationally or regionally accredited postsecondary institution. The college placement evaluation is required unless the applicant has completed a college-level English composition course and a college algebra course with grades of “C” or higher.
• For limited admissions programs (including dental hygiene and nursing), applicants may be required to complete a specialized admissions test, and only the most qualified applicants are admitted.

1. Personal Commitment and Professional Attitude: *Of importance for the applicant’s success is willingness to make those sacrifices necessary to successfully complete the program of study and a commitment to adhere to the University’s rules and expectations. An indication of personal commitment includes, but is not limited to, the applicant’s willingness to invest in his or her own education by contributing financially toward their education each semester, separate from any financial aid available.

   * Note: For dental assisting and dental hygiene programs, this criterion is for advisement purposes only and will not be used in the admission decision by the University.

2. Availability of Time: An applicant must have the availability of time to attend classes and labs, to complete projects, and to submit assignments promptly. Each student is expected to spend additional time outside of class hours studying, completing assignments, and doing research.
