Pre-Health Science: Nursing Emphasis

The Associates of Arts Degree in Pre-Health Science: Nursing is designed to prepare students for transfer into the Bachelor of Science degree - Major in Nursing (BSN) program on the Chalon campus.

Admission to Mount Saint Mary’s University does not constitute admission to the Nursing program. Admission to the BSN program is determined by the Admission Committee of the Nursing Department. Admission is granted for the sophomore year, and for the fall semesters only.

Admission to the program is highly competitive, and the BSN Admission Committee strongly suggests achieving a GPA above the minimum required for consideration. In order to be eligible for review, applicants must meet the criteria stated in the traditional BSN Program Admission Policy: Admissions Requirement. Students in the Pre-Health Science: Nursing program should complete all program and BSN prerequisite requirements during the two years at the Doheny campus. Transferring to the BSN program will require a total of 5 years of study. Priority will be given to students who meet the required criteria and have completed two semesters at Mount Saint Mary’s University.
