DIRECT ENTRY
Students apply directly to the accelerated nursing program and, if accepted, enroll in the first-year nursing cohort. You’ll begin nursing courses in your first semester and don’t have to reapply. If you meet acceptance criteria but are placed on the wait list, you’ll be offered admission as seats become available.
The program will evaluate your application holistically, with an emphasis on your academic achievement in high school course work. Successful candidates show preparation for the nursing curriculum with:
- 12 academic units in English, math, laboratory science and social science.
- Minimum 2.5 cumulative unweighted grade point average based on a 4.0 scale.
- Minimum 1200 SAT-I or 23 ACT.
- Student activities demonstrating leadership, teamwork and/or a commitment to community service.
Nursing applicants should have a strong preparation in the sciences:
- Minimum one year each of biology, chemistry, algebra and geometry.
- Highly recommended: three years of high school math and a science course in your senior year.
TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS
Transfer students must submit Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) scores. The program requires a minimum 67% TEAS score. Learn more about transfer requirements here.

Transfer Application Process
You can apply as a transfer student to either cohort while your courses are still in progress. Students may be accepted conditionally, given that you complete the course work before starting at Roosevelt University. The program gives strongest consideration to students with a cumulative college GPA of 3.0 or higher in your transfer-eligible courses.
