Utica’s Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing Program and ABSN Admission Requirements

Academic Background and ABSN Admission Requirements

You must have some non-nursing college experience and a solid academic background to start the admission process. And your program eligibility also depends upon your completion of the degree requirements.

Academic Background Requirements

Eligible applicants for the Utica ABSN program or for the Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program must have one of the following academic backgrounds:

1. A minimum of 65 credits from a regionally accredited college or university (at least 57 of these credits must be from a 4-year regionally accredited college or university), or a conferred associate degree from a regionally accredited institution for our Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program.
2. A non-nursing bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution for our ABSN program.

Degrees Obtained Outside the United States

If you obtained your non-nursing bachelor’s degree from a college or university that is located outside of the United States, you may still qualify for our ABSN program or our Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program. Please contact our admission team at (866) 892-6747 to find out.

Please be aware that while we can perform an initial review of your qualifications using your foreign transcript evaluation and other documentation, a course-by-course degree evaluation from the World Education Services is the only way for us to officially determine your eligibility.

If you are a prospective student who maintains a permanent residence outside the U.S., you must also meet a series of international admission requirements and submit additional materials before you can apply to our ABSN program or Advanced Standing B.S. in Nursing program.
