Prospective Students
Beginning spring 2017, the SAU nursing program will begin to admit students in the fall and in the spring. Many qualified students apply to the nursing program every year but are turned away due to limited space within the nursing program. The two cohort admission process will allow additional qualified applicants the chance to enter the SAU nursing program. This additional spring admission will help keep admission numbers lower per semester to provide for more individualized faculty per student attention. In addition, the increased number of nursing students entering the workforce will help to decrease the regions nursing shortages.
Admission to pre-nursing major does not guarantee admission to the nursing program. Pre-requisite courses must be completed prior to the start of the nursing program.
