Current Beloit College students who meet GPA and prerequisite requirements may apply for admission to the program at any point in their Beloit career, including the fall semester before starting the BSN program. Students will receive personalized advising about their individual pathways into the BSN program from both Beloit’s School of Health Sciences and Edgewood advisors on campus, starting as early as the summer before they begin at Beloit.

Application process

Prospective students may opt to apply for guaranteed or provisional admission to the nursing program when they enroll at Beloit College as a first-year or transfer student. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.3 in nursing prerequisites and 3.3 cumulative GPA to retain their guaranteed status. The same requirements apply for transfer students.

Guaranteed admission requires a cumulative high school GPA of 3.75, while provisional admission will be considered on an individual basis.

Current Beloit Students may apply for admission to the program at any point in their Beloit career up to and including the fall semester prior to starting the BSN according to the same GPA requirements.
