Students pursuing a BSN degree that leads to nursing licensure complete four years of course work in the prelicensure track of the College of Nursing. Following completion of prerequisite courses, the student applies for admission to the upper division. Students take nursing courses on the Health Science Campus. 120 semester credit hours are required for graduation.

Admission to the upper division nursing program is competitive and requires a minimum cumulative GPA above 3.0.  A minimum higher education GPA of 3.0 is required to apply. The College of Nursing requires a “C” or better in all coursework.  A “C-“ or lower is not acceptable.  Therefore, all pre-requisite, UToledo CORE, and Upper Division courses must be taken for a letter grade.  Pass/No Credit is only an option for “elective” courses that are not a pre-requisite, UToledo CORE or Upper Division NURS course.  Consult your Academic Advisor before choosing this option.

Nursing advisors will assist students to determine semester for application to the major. Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to beginning nursing major. Application deadlines are subject to change: please check with nursing advisors.
