ALL COURSES (EXCEPT INFS 1010) MUST BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN THE SEMESTER IN WHICH
APPLICATION TO THE COLLEGE OF NURSING IS MADE.
Completion of these courses does not guarantee admission into ETSU’s Nursing Program. An application for
admission into the ETSU School of Nursing must be submitted and the student must be accepted.
Acceptance is substantially improved by a high GPA.
Students must apply to both the University and to the nursing school. Students should check with the University and
the nursing school to determine application deadlines, which may be well in advance of the entrance dates.
Note that course requirements may change. It is the student’s responsibility to check with the ETSU Nursing Program
to make sure all courses will transfer and are acceptable. This is especially true if the courses were taken at
other colleges or universities. See the ETSU Catalog for more information on admission requirements for the
college and for the Nursing Program.
Completion of these courses does not result in an AS degree from PSCC. Additional courses may be required; see your
advisor and the PSCC Catalog & Handbook for associate degree requirements.
This checklist is not intended to replace your advisor. See a pre-nursing advisor in the PSCC Pre-nursing Advising
Center in AL107 for assistance in planning your coursework!
