in the Competitive Transfer Pathway program (as indicated by their MCC
major) must have all documentation submitted no later than April 1 if applying
to begin the program in the Fall; Spring applicants should have all documented
submitted before September. All other applicants will be reviewed on a
space available basis for fall and alternatively for the spring semester.
Review of completed applications will continue for both the fall and spring
semesters as capacity allows.

indicated by their MCC major must achieve a minimum cumulative grade point
average of 2.75 for admission to the clinical portion of the program.
• Grade of C or higher required in each of the seven nursing prerequisite
courses listed above in BOLD and at least a cumulative prerequisite GPA
of 2.4. All attempts are calculated in the pre-req GPA.

prior to beginning the program.
• Cumulative GPA is calculated using all undergraduate college
level course work.
