Following are the minimum requirements for ADN-RN Nursing Program. Minimum admission standards include:
Admission to the SUNY Broome ADN program is based on a student’s composite score. The composite score is calculated based on the following:
- Cumulative Grade Point Average: A student’s cumulative grade point average is based on a calculation of the student’s entire transcript or the student’s last 24 credits completed at SUNY Broome or an accredited institution. Whichever calculation provides the student the greater advantage will be used. Cumulative Grade Point Average accounts for up to seven (7) points towards a student’s composite score. Cumulative grade point averages below a 2.0 or a high school average below 74 receive no points in this category and are considered unqualified for competitive admission.
- Pre-requisite Grade Point Average*: The pre-requisite grade point average is based upon the student’s most recent two (2) attempts of each of the following pre-requisite requirements:
- Regents Biology (minimum grade of 74 awarded in the course and passed the Regents Biology exam) or one of the following developmental or college-level Biology courses:
- BIO 090 (4 credits)
- BIO 131 (4 credits)
- BIO 132 (4 credits)
- BIO 117 (4 credits)
- BIO 118 (4 credits)
- Regents Algebra 2/Trigonometry (minimum grade of 74 awarded in the course and passed the Regents Algebra 2/Trigonometry exam) or one of the following developmental or college-level math courses:
- MAT 096 (4 credits)
- MAT 136 (4 credits)
- MAT 156 (4 credits)
- MAT 181 (4 credits)

*This means that the pre-requisite grade point average for admissions consideration to the SUNY Broome ADN program is excluded from the college’s Fresh Start policy. Pre-requisite grade point average accounts for up to seven (7) points towards a student’s composite score. A pre-requisite grade point average below 2.0 or a high school average for these three pre-requisite subjects in this category below a 74 receives no points in this category and is considered unqualified for competitive admission. Please note that pre-requisites taken in high school are only eligible for consideration as pre-requisite courses if the student has received a minimum grade of 74 in each subject and passed the Regents exam in that subject.
- HESI A2 Score: The A2 test must be taken no more than one calendar year prior to the date of application submission. HESI A2 Score accounts for up to seven (7) points towards a student’s composite score. A cumulative score below 75% on the A2 test will result in no points awarded.
- Residency Status: Students are eligible for one-half (1/2) a point towards their composite score based on their residency status.
- Military Status: Students who are veterans of the Unites States Armed Forces are eligible for receiving one-half (1/2) a point towards their composite score.
Based on the above, a maximum composite score of 36 points is possible. Admission to the SUNY Broome ADN program is competitive. Composite scores are calculated for applications. Based on the number of seats available in the program for each admission period, students with the top composite scores will be extended an offer of admission to the program. Based on the diversity of applications received each admissions cycle, the cut off composite score for admissions will vary each cycle.
