Nursing program may sit for the NCLEX-PN after completing the first year plus nursing elective NUR-165, so admission requirements are those of the A.A.S. program. TEAS adjusted total score of 60% or higher; prerequisites BNA-150, BIO-119 and PSY-104 with C or better; ranking begins at a 2.5 GPA. Stated deadlines were April 15, 2026 for fall and October 15, 2026 for spring; A.A.S. tuition about $10,050 in-district.
