Pre-Health Science: Nursing Emphasis
NOTE: This degree program will not accept students after Fall 2019.
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 or the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program on the Doheny Campus.
Admission to Mount Saint Mary’s University does not constitute admission to a Nursing program. Admission to either the BSN program or the ADN program is determined by the Admission Committee of the Nursing Departments. Admission is granted for the sophomore year, and for the fall semesters only for BSN and for fall/spring admission for the ADN.
Admission to the programs is highly competitive, and the Admission Committees strongly suggest 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 or ADN Program Admission Policies. Students in the Pre-Health Science: Nursing program should complete all program prerequisite requirements with a grade of C or better during the two years at the Doheny campus.
