Website: www.nursing.kumc.edu
E-mail: soninfo@kumc.edu
ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS: Students in the Fort Scott Community College Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS) program are
eligible to apply provided they have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Applicants must complete all of the prerequisite courses below and provide
proof of a current RN license prior to the start of classes. Three letters of recommendation are required in addition to the online application.
Admission is competitive; applicants are not guaranteed admission.
When calculating GPA, all non-vocational and non-remedial courses from all colleges and universities attended are considered. With the
exception of Intermediate Algebra, remedial courses are not factored into the GPA. When a course is repeated, both the original and the new
grade are factored into the GPA. With the exception of ADN courses, courses that do not transfer to KU are not factored into the GPA.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: To have an application considered for admission, all parts of the application (including transcripts and
references) must be submitted by the deadline appropriate for your anticipated start date. The following deadlines should be observed:
October 1 for spring semester admission; March 1 for summer session admission; June 1 for fall semester admission.
LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS: The BSN consists of 120 credit hours, 60 of which are primarily liberal arts and sciences courses.
The remaining 60 credits required make up the nursing major. Credit for the nursing major courses is earned through a combination of
portfolio examination of ADN course work and KU BSN course work. The course list below details the 60 credit hours of liberal arts
courses required prior to matriculation into the RN to BSN program at KU.
Courses with grades of “D” or “F” will not be counted towards the required 60 hours. No Pass/Fail courses will be accepted.
