Important Note

LPN is a competitive admission program. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Applicants who are denied admission will be placed in the Health Sciences program of study to complete general education courses applicable to the LPN degree, allowing them to reapply.

Coursework Considered in Admissions Review

While not required, applicants who have completed one or more of the program-specific general education courses prior to applying may have those grades included in the admissions review. A minimum grade of C is required for any of these courses to be considered. Courses may also be reviewed with attention to whether they were completed successfully on the first attempt.
