LPN to BSN Completion

Applicants who are licensed as Registered Nurses (RN) are eligible to apply for advanced placement admission to the upper division. The applicant must be a graduate of an associate degree or diploma program which was NLN accredited at the time of graduation; must have a current, unencumbered RN license on file in the nursing office (updated appropriately). Applicants who have a current, unencumbered license as a practical nurse (LPN) or psychiatric technician nurse (LPTN) are eligible to apply for admission to the upper division with advanced placement through specific validations and the Arkansas Articulation Agreement. RN/BSN completion track students who seek admission to the baccalaureate program must meet the same prerequisite program and degree requirements as generic students. Applicants are evaluated on an individual basis.

Transfer Students

Students transferring from another college or university must meet the same admission criteria as all other students. After a transcript evaluation has been made by the Admission/Registrar's office, the Department of Nursing administration will determine which courses are applicable to the requirements for the B.S.N. degree prior to admission.
