In order to be eligible to enter the Nursing Program, you must first:
1. Apply for admission to Columbia State and be eligible for admission as a degree-seeking student OR be admitted/currently enrolled at Columbia State.
2. Complete all required Learning Support classes (or be permanently exempt from all Learning Support requirements).
3. Have a combined, cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher based on all prior college work attempted.

APPLICANT MUST upload ACT/SAT scores and transcripts as indicated below:

1. ACT/SAT score (minimum ACT composite 19). A composite score below 19 will be considered if all required Learning Support
courses are completed or there is transferrable college level English and Math credit on a college transcript.
It is strongly recommended the applicant take the ACT to attempt a higher score for greater competitive status.

2. Transcripts from all colleges attended including Columbia State. If less than 12 college credit hours have been earned,
must submit high school transcripts. (All transcripts must be attached with the nursing application.) Please note: the Admissions and
Records office at Columbia State cannot duplicate records/transcripts.

Have you earned 12 or more college credit hours?

Have you ever attended another nursing program?

Only completed applications with the attached transcripts (official or unofficial) received by the Nursing Office electronically
by 4 pm on the last day of the applicable month are considered. Incomplete applications will not be processed. The applicant's
full name must be present on all submitted documents.

By submitting this form, I affirm that all information on the application is accurate to the best of my knowledge.
Incorrect or incomplete information will make me ineligible for consideration. All requested
information must be submitted by the time this application is processed. I must maintain my
grade point average at or above 2.75. I understand that, once admitted to the Nursing Program,
I have to submit to a criminal background check, drug screen and meet all affiliate requirements
for clinical access. I am aware that in order to be eligible to take the licensure exam after
graduation, I must verify that I am either: 1) a U.S. citizen, 2) a “qualified alien”, or 3) a nonimmigrant
who meets 8 U.S.C. 1621 requirements. Applicants must provide all names that transcripts may appear
under. Applicants are responsible for notifying the Nursing Program office of any changes in name,
mailing address, phone number, etc., in order to facilitate contact.

Please wait for files to finish uploading

Before you submit,

Have you included copies of all required transcripts, including those from Columbia State?
Have you included a copy of your highest ACT/SAT score?
While this is not required if you have completed all required Learning Support courses or have taken college-level English and Math courses, it is required if you wish your score to be used to calculate admission points. Including the score may help to increase your admission score and thus your potential for entrance into the nursing program.
