The Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program admits qualified students regardless of race, color, creed, sex, age, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin or handicap that does not interfere with the performance of professional nursing as provided by law. Students can enter the program one of two ways:

Direct Admission – Individuals matriculate directly from high school into the nursing major with successful completion of the following:

1. At minimum, one year of high school algebra II, biology and chemistry (grade C or better).
2. Attain an ACT of 21 or higher and high school cumulative G.P.A. 2.75 or higher.
3. Applicants who have English as a Second Language are required to take the TOEFL and achieve a score of 550, unless satisfactory ACT/SAT scores are available.
4. Submission of the Technical Standards for Admission to and Progression in the Nursing Program and the Background Information Disclosure Forms.
   
   In some instances, applicant files are referred to a Selection Committee for review and action. That body might grant admission provided certain conditions are met or may require the student to satisfy specified criteria.
   

Delayed Admission: Students who enroll at Carroll, not having been admitted to the program through direct admission, including change of major and transfer student applicants, may be accepted to the nursing program by meeting the nursing program admission and progression standards as listed below:
