program will be based on the total number of credits toward the Associate’s degree and the
cumulative grade point average (GPA) of those courses. You must have a 2.5 nursing GPA to be
eligible to apply to the program.
In addition to the courses listed on the front of this sheet, there are three additional courses, which
