High School Entrance Units


The high school transcript must show that the candidate will graduate (or has already graduated) and will have completed a minimum of 16 academic courses in grades 9 through 12. Courses taken in the eighth grade may be used to meet requirements in mathematics and foreign language, but are not counted among the 16 academic courses. Required courses for School of Nursing candidates include four years of English, three years of college preparatory mathematics (algebra I and II and geometry), one year of chemistry, one year of biology, and seven other approved academic courses. (A fourth year of college preparatory mathematics is highly recommended.)
