selection process according to results of the entrance exam. The applicants are
rank-ordered from highest to lowest scores.
Preference is given to those
applicants with the highest scores. In case of a tie, the applicant with the highest
GPA is granted admission.
Selection of students for the Practical Nursing
Program is made by the Admissions Committee.
Applicants are notified
of acceptance, alternate or non-acceptance status for the nursing program by June
for the Fall semester or by December for the Spring semester.

Costs include tuition, books, clinical/laboratory uniforms and supplies,
health requirements, and fees associated with graduation, testing, and licensing.
Anticipated cost for three semesters is more than $7,200.
