Admission Requirements

Applicants must apply to the Graduate School at the University of Northern Colorado before the program area reviews the applicant’s request for admission. Failure to submit all required materials will delay the evaluation and screening of your application.

Each applicant must:

• Possess (or be in the process of finishing) a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from an accredited (NLN/ACEN or CCNE) nursing program with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better (4.0 scale).
  • If you are still completing your bachelor's degree at the time you apply, admission will be based on your current cumulative GPA, and you will need to re-submit your official transcript (showing your conferred degree and final GPA) during your first semester. If your final GPA fell below 3.00, you will be given additional requirements as defined by the academic program that must be met within one calendar year to remain enrolled at UNC.
  • If you have completed a master's degree, or at least 18 credit hours towards a master's degree, the GPA of your master's work will be used.
