Applying to Utica University’s ABSN Program or Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing Program

If you meet the basic admissions requirements for our accelerated nursing program, offered in Syracuse and Albany, or for our Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program, offered exclusively in Albany, and are ready to get moving on your nursing education, here are the five key steps involved in applying.

1. Meet with an Admissions Representative

The application process begins when you meet with an admission representative to discuss your academic experience and future career goals. This representative will serve as your main point of contact during the entire admissions/application process.

This first step of the ABSN application process is your opportunity to discuss your reasons for choosing this career, financial considerations, and any roadblocks that may hold you back from admission into the program. It’s best to be totally honest with your representative so they can do their best to help you.

At the end of this conversation, if they deem Utica’s ABSN program to be the right fit, they will ask you to send over a copy of your unofficial transcripts.

2. Develop an Academic Plan

It is important to work with your admission representative to create a personalized academic plan that works toward your target program start date. We offer program start dates in January, May, and August. This conversation is to ensure you meet all outstanding program requirements before applying.

3. Complete Degree Requirement Courses

Before you can apply to our ABSN program or to the Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program, you must complete a series of general and natural science degree requirement courses within the required specifications. These courses can be completed 100% online. All of our degree requirement courses are offered through Utica University, can help familiarize you with our e-learning management system, and are seamlessly transferrable.

4. Apply to our ABSN Program or Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing Program

Your admissions representative will provide you with a way to access the online application for the ABSN program or for the Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program. Please be aware there is a $40 application fee and a $150 non-refundable admissions deposit.

Ask your admissions representative how you can get an application fee waiver by completing a simple survey.

5. Mail Official Transcripts

You will need to send us your official transcripts from the college or university you previously attended.
