Admission Requirements

Applicants to the RN to BSN track must fulfill the following criteria:

Applicants who have completed an international nursing diploma program that is not affiliated to a university may not have satisfied the Associate Degree requirement for admission to the University of Houston College of Nursing undergraduate RN to BSN track due to the non-academic nature of this type of coursework.
2. Provide evidence of an unencumbered, current Texas Registered Nurse license.
3. Satisfy all Texas Core Curriculum requirements for an undergraduate degree, general education courses, and required BSN required course work prior to enrolling in the UH RN to BSN program.

A student shall receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred and may not be required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution unless the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has approved a larger core curriculum at that institution.
