• Our typical student is admitted as a freshman, completing 3 semesters of prerequisite and general education courses.
• Students typically apply to the School of Nursing during the fall semester of their sophomore year.
• Students who are accepted into the School of Nursing begin their nursing classes the spring of their sophomore year with completion of the major requiring at least five semesters.

All students seeking admission to the undeclared nursing program and School of Nursing at Simpson University must first be admitted into the university. Students will be accepted into Simpson University based on established admissions criteria. Admission into the university and undeclared nursing program does not guarantee admission into the School of Nursing.

In order to ensure the most qualified candidates are accepted into the program, additional admissions criteria and recommended courses are required.

Request that official evaluations of transcripts from all foreign institutions be sent to NursingCAS as follows:

• Use the World Education Services (WES) link in the Academic History section of the application to order your official WES evaluation or…
