Incoming freshmen at Illinois State University may apply for Early Admission to the Prelicensure B.S.N. Sequence.

Those Illinois State students not accepted into the Early Admission Sequence should follow the Prelicensure B.S.N. Application Process.

Undergraduate students transferring to Illinois State University from another two- or four-year college should follow the Prelicensure B.S.N. Application Process.

All applicants interested in admission must:

Have completed (at the time of admission, and not at the time of application) the Illinois State General Education Program or the Illinois Transferable General Education Program and the Mennonite College of Nursing prerequisite courses with a minimum of 56 total credit hours earned

OR

Have completed (at the time of admission and not at the time of application) an Associate’s Degree in Arts or Science with all Mennonite College of Nursing prerequisite courses completed.

AND

Obtain a "C" or better in each of the Mennonite College of Nursing prerequisite courses to include:

(NOTE: Transfer students may refer to Transferring to Illinois State for information relating to prerequisite courses taken at a college/ University other than Illinois State)

Consider completing an approved Illinois State global studies course prior to admission into Nursing. Although this course may be completed following admission, earlier completion will allow for a reduced workload upon entrance. Students with an earned Bachelor’s Degree in another discipline upon admission are EXEMPT from this requirement. Approved global studies courses may be found in the Illinois State University Undergraduate Catalog.

Although there is no minimum GPA required for application, only those students with competitive applications will be considered for admission.
