BSN Holistic Admission Process


We're looking for applicants who are compassionate and dedicated, with diverse experiences and a broad knowledge base. If you have the skills necessary to grow into a nurse who is safe and competent, thinks critically, and is prepared to meet the constantly evolving health needs of the community, we want YOU.

The following sections: Application Criteria, Process, and Dates & Deadlines refer to both Traditional and Accelerated BSN pathways. Please review them carefully and note specific details for your entry path. Submit your application during the corresponding open window.

  • Accelerated BSN Application (for new students applying to both WSSU and the ABSN program)
    Now accepting applications through September 5. See link at the bottom of the page. 
  • Traditional BSN Application to Upper Division (for students already accepted to WSSU)
    Application open October 1.

 
NOTE: Acceptance into the nursing program is based upon the admission criteria. Meeting the minimal admission criteria does not guarantee admission into the Upper Division of Nursing. Based on the competitive nature of the program, some qualified applicants may not be admitted. A ranking system will be used to determine admission to the Division of Nursing. The ranking system awards points for each admission criterion. Please review information below and follow the guidelines explicitly to facilitate the processing of your application. Failure to comply with all directions and requirements will result in the application not being reviewed.

*All admission requirements, including completion of the ATI TEAS, must be submitted on or before the application deadline date. Carefully review the Application Criteria and Application Process sections above. Applications submitted past the deadline might not be accepted.

For questions or concerns about the application process, please send all correspondence to nursingosa@wssu.edu.
