The University of Nebraska Medical Center and Wayne State College have signed an affiliation agreement for an early admission pathway for Wayne State College students who wish to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at the UNMC College of Nursing Northern Division in Norfolk, Nebraska.
The intent of the Early Admission Pathway agreement is to make the path to a BSN seamless for students enrolled in the pre-nursing undergraduate program at Wayne State College (WSC). The UNMC College of Nursing Northern Division will provide guaranteed early admission for qualified students.
Wayne State College students complete the first two years of the BSN at WSC and then finish the BSN at UNMC’s Northern Division. The early admission pathway is open to all students in-state and out-of-state.
In addition to standard criteria, early admission requires WSC undergraduate students to have successfully completed required prerequisite courses, have a GPA of at least 3.3, and meet with a student services coordinator each semester. Other features of the BSN program will include joint advising, rigorous coursework and co-curricular activities with UNMC faculty while at Wayne State College.
Applications are being accepted now for the fall 2022 semester. Guaranteed spaces will be made available each academic year for this early admission pathway agreement.
