This program is for students who plan to enter the Basic BSN program. Students seeking admission to the Pre-Nursing Program must meet University of Michigan-Flint admission requirements. Application may be made at any time after the beginning of the senior year of high school. The Department of Nursing highly recommends high school college preparatory courses in biology, chemistry, English, and mathematics.
Upon admission to the University, Pre-Nursing Program students are enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students entering the Pre-Nursing Program in the College of Arts and Sciences should be aware that such admission does not insure their acceptance in the Basic BSN Program. Admission to the Basic BSN Program is selective. To learn details of the application and selection processes, prospective applicants are encouraged to attend Department of Nursing Information Meetings. These are held regularly throughout the school year. Contact the department for scheduled times.
