Admission to Baccalaureate Nursing Program

  • due to the fact that Grambling University’s BSN program exceeded the maximum 3 years of Conditional Approval allowed under LAC Title 46, Part XLVII, Chapter 35, §3535.K, the Board restricted Grambling from admitting any students in to the BSN program at its October 15, 2014 Board meeting.

Pre-Nursing Component: Applicants must meet the general admissions requirements of the University through the University Admissions Office.

Professional Component: The number of admissions is determined by the availability of faculty and clinical sites. Application forms for admission to the professional program of the School of Nursing may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, School of Nursing. The Admissions and Academic Standards Committee will review applications. The Dean will take final action on the committee’s recommendations and will notify the students. If, for some reason, a student is not admitted to the professional program, re-application must be made following the regular procedure. Applications to the professional program must be postmarked no later than April 1 for Fall semester and October 1 for Spring semester.

  • Submission of completed application packet by deadline dates
