Prospective Freshmen

Nursing Freshman Admission Overview

The Nursing Program at Clemson University is targeting an enrolled freshmen class of approximately 40 students, effective beginning Fall 2009 semester. This does make admission to Clemson University School of Nursing extremely competitive.  Acceptance letters are extended to more than 40 students, knowing that not all students, who are accepted, will attend Clemson University.  For those students who are admitted as Freshmen, there is no re-application process for progression to the upper level nursing courses.

Generally, Admissions considers three criteria:

• 1) High School class rank
• 2) High School GPA
• 3) SAT or ACT scores

Typically, Nursing does not accept students with an SAT score below 1000, or an ACT score below 22.

For specific information regarding admission criteria, please call Clemson University Admissions at (864) 656-2287 or visit the website at Admissions.
