Pre-Nursing

After completing specific prerequisites, Hilbert students interested in a career in nursing may choose one of the two options to apply into a nursing program in an accredited school to earn the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN):

  1. Students interested in the UB Nursing School program typically apply during their sophomore year for the Traditional (2+2) BS program after completing 12 prerequisite courses at Hilbert. The program starts in the fall, and the application is due on January 15.
  2. Graduating seniors in other majors can apply to the UB Nursing program for the Accelerated (3+1) BS program after completing 9 prerequisite courses. This intensive one-year program starts in summer, requiring both summer 1 & 2 sessions, fall and spring, to complete the coursework. The application is due on October 1 of the junior year.
Admission into the nursing school at UB is highly competitive. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required to apply for the above options. However, the average admitted GPA at UB Nursing School is 3.65 for Traditional BS and 3.72 for Accelerated BS. Students should work with the Pre-health Program Advisor as soon as they decide on the nursing track to select appropriate coursework based on their schools of interest. In addition, gaining a thorough understanding of the profession through hospital volunteerism and practical working experiences as a Nursing Assistant is very helpful.
