School of Nursing Professional Program Admission Requirements

Professional Curriculum: Students are admitted to the professional nursing curriculum annually in fall semester. Pre-nursing students must formally apply in mid-February to the School of Nursing. Applicants are notified by June 1 of acceptance or non-acceptance. Due to limited enrollment, all students who meet minimum criteria may not be admitted.

Criteria for consideration for admission include completion of all pre-nursing requirements with a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 2.5, references, and a completed application. Pre-nursing students who do not attain an overall GPA of at least 2.5 at the beginning of the second year should consider alternative fields of study. A minimum grade of C is required in most pre-nursing courses. The Auburn University School of Nursing Admissions Committee considers, in addition to the above criteria, general conduct, health, and extra-curricular activities. An interview may be required by the School of Nursing.

An overall GPA of 2.0 must be maintained for progression through the professional nursing curriculum, a minimum grade of C must be achieved in all courses. Because the professional nursing curriculum is designed for progressive development of nursing knowledge and skills, students who earn a grade less than C in a professional course are not allowed to progress to the next course. The course in which the student earns a grade less than C may be repeated one time only. Students who do not satisfactorily complete a course whose GPA falls below 2.0 are withdrawn from the professional program and must reapply. Transfer credit is not generally allowed for courses in the professional nursing curriculum.
