*Required of first-time, first-semester students; not required for graduation.
Students seeking admission to the B.S.N. program at the West Virginia University School of Nursing must apply for admission to that school by February 1 of their freshman year.
Students, whether at West Virginia University or at Potomac State College, are selectively admitted to the nursing program when all pre-nursing requirements have been satisfactorily completed. Minimum requirements include a 3.00 cumulative G.P.A. and at least a 3.00 in all science courses.
By agreement between Potomac State College the WVU School of Nursing, seats have been reserved for a limited number of Potomac State students who meet the minimum requirements for admission to the B.S.N. program and wish to enter that program as sophomores.
Potomac State College students who are accepted into the B.S.N. program at the West Virginia School of Nursing will complete their second, third, and fourth years of instruction at West Virginia University in Morgantown.
Students seeking admission to the B.S.N program should complete the following course of study in their freshman year:
