What are typical nursing school prerequisites?
Each school has their own set of prerequisites and requirements for admission, but this section gives you some general guidelines for what to expect. Be sure to consult the detailed requirements for each school before applying. • SAT or ACT exam, minimums vary widely by school • GPA range from 2.0-3.25, depending on the school • 3 years of math, including geometry and algebra II • 3 years of science, including biology and chemistry • 4 years of English • 2 years of foreign language Most BSN programs at 4-year colleges require you to first apply to the college or university in general, and then after completing prerequisite courses at the school you apply to the nursing program specifically. There are no standards here, so be sure to check with each school on their procedures.
