Undergraduate Admission

Students seeking admission to the School of Nursing must first be admitted to the University by contacting the Office of Admissions.  Student should then call to make an appointment with an adviser in Academic Counseling and Advising (618-650-3701).  Admission to the University and submission of an application for a major in Nursing do not guarantee admission to the School of Nursing.  Note:  A prospective student may declare him/herself as a pre-nursing major during first semester as long as he/she is not enrolled in Academic Development classes.  Students are admitted to the School of Nursing at the beginning of their sophomore year for fall enrollment. To gain admission to SON's undergraduate program you must meet our undergraduate admission requirements.
