Pre-Nursing Students (current Radford Unviversity students)

Application for admission to the upper division may be made when students are within six hours of completing the general education requirements. Early in the academic year prior to the semester in which entrance to upper division is desired, students must apply for admission to the upper division nursing major. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.8 or above on a 4.0 scale and have completed all nursing prerequisites with a grade of “C” or better for admission consideration.

NOTE: The actual GPA required for admission may be significantly higher. Admission is competitive, with admission granted on a space available basis.
