For new students and transfer students

Program Objectives

Admission Guidelines

The upper division includes the clinical component of the nursing curriculum. Students must apply and be admitted to the nursing program to be eligible to enroll in upper division or level 300 and 400 courses.

Admission to the upper division is highly competitive and spaces are limited. When the number of students applying to the upper division exceeds the number of spaces available, the most qualified applicants will be admitted. Those applicants who present the strongest academic records and who show the most promise for success in the upper division will be admitted. UAH students who have completed 30 or more hours at UAH will be given priority consideration for admission over transfer students.
