<\/span><\/i><\/span>Professional Program Admissions Requirements<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Admission to the School of Nursing is a two-tier process: students must apply and be admitted to the Nursing\/Pre-Nursing Program and to the Professional Nursing Program.\u00a0 The acceptance letter into Hampton University satisfies admission to the Nursing\/Pre-Nursing Program but does not automatically qualify students for acceptance into the Professional Nursing Program. A student must complete a separate application for admission to the Professional Nursing Program after the designated number of pre-requisite courses are successfully completed. Acceptance into the Professional Nursing Program is based on overall grade point average, math and science grade point average, scores on the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS\u00ae) and recommendations. The TEAS scores cannot be more than a year old at the time of application.<\/p>
