Admission to the ASN program is competitive. Meeting minimal admission criteria does not guarantee acceptance. The admission process is completed in two steps. Students wishing to major in nursing at the associate level must either be unconditionally admitted or have completed all developmental coursework. Students not meeting this requirement will need to declare Applied Health Sciences as a major until all developmental course work has been successfully completed. Once requirements are met, then students can declare a major of nursing.
Students are admitted into step one of the ASN Program year-round. The Admissions Committee reviews all records of qualified applicants.
Step One:
For admission to the ASN program, the student must:
- submit application for admission to undergraduate studies with $30 application fee;
- submit Official high school transcript or the equivalent (GED). A high school transcript or GED is not required for students transferring in a minimum 24 semester hours of college credit;
- Submit Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended;
- Meet all unconditional admission requirements for freshman students as listed in the 麻豆网站列表 undergraduate catalog and; have a minimum grade point average GPA of at least 2.75/4.0 scale on all college work attempted at the undergraduate level and a minimum grade point average of at least 2.0/4.0 scale on all college work attempted at 麻豆网站列表 at the undergraduate level. If less than 12 HR of college work has been attempted, you must have a minimum 2.75/4.0 High School GPA or a GED with a score of 500; and
- Meet core performance standards required for duties of the nursing profession (copy of standards available upon request).
Step Two:
- Apply for admittance into the clinical nursing sequence. The deadline for filing an application and all required admission documentation is May 30 for fall admission and October 30 for spring admission.
- Admission is based upon a point system comprised of GPA and grades in required courses
Student will lose points for courses that were dropped or failed. b. Any student that fails a first-semester nursing course after being admitted to the clinical sequence will have to return to the 鈥渟election group鈥� and attempt to be reselected based on the points system in order to repeat a course the following semester.- Student will lose points for courses that were dropped or failed.
- Any student that fails a first-semester nursing course after being admitted to the clinical sequence will have to return to the 鈥渟election group鈥� and attempt to be reselected based on the points system in order to repeat a course the following semester.
NOTE: If a student is attempting to transfer credit for nursing courses from another accredited school of nursing, a letter from the dean/director of that school must be submitted stating that the student was eligible for continuation in the nursing program. If the student was not eligible for continuation in the program, the student must take all required 麻豆网站列表 ASN nursing courses (i.e., no nursing courses will be transferred).
Progression
- Student must maintain an overall 麻豆网站列表 GPA of at least 2.0 on 4.0 scale while enrolled in nursing courses.
- Student must earn a grade of C (74%) or better in each required course.
- A student will be able to repeat a nursing course only one time to achieve a grade of C or better .
- A student may repeat only one ASN Program nursing course (with the exception of NSG 2204 or NSG 2213); therefore, a second D or F in any ASN nursing course (with the exception of NSG 2204, or NSG 2213) will result in automatic dismissal from the Program.
- Student must make 90% or higher on a dosage and solutions calculation examination in NSG 1151 to progress in the program.
- Student must complete the program within four years from the date of initial enrollment in the first clinical nursing course (NSG 1131 and/or NSG 1135) to remain in the program. Whether a student drops, fails or withdraws from NSG 1131 or NSG 1135 the student can only re-enroll once more. If a student drops, fails, or withdraws a second time, the student will be dismissed from the ASN program.
Degree
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the student is awarded the Associate of Science in Nursing degree and may then apply to the Board of Nursing to write the licensing examination to become a registered nurse (RN).
Location
The ASN program is located at 340 Montgomery Street, Montgomery, AL, 36104. The clinical facilities used for student learning experiences are located within an approximate 50-mile radius of Montgomery. Students are responsible for their transportation.

Nursing, Bachelor of Science (BSN)
(124 Hours)
Students wishing to declare a pre-nursing major at the baccalaureate level must either be unconditionally admitted and/or have completed all developmental coursework and cleared conditional status. Students not meeting these requirements will need to declare Interprofessional Health Science Program as a major until all developmental course work has been successfully completed and/or conditional status has been cleared. Once requirements are met, then students can declare a major of pre-nursing or nursing.
Admission
Admission to the BSN program is competitive. Meeting minimal admission criteria does not guarantee acceptance. For admission to the BSN program, students must
- have an overall GPA of at least 2.5 on 4.0 scale. (All hours attempted are used in calculation of overall GPA.)
- file an online application with the School of Nursing. Consult academic adviser or BSN Coordinator. Deadlines for receipt of BSN applications are March 15 for fall semester and Sept. 15 for spring semester. Registered Nurse students enrolling in the RN Mobility track should contact the RN Mobility Assistant Coordinator for admission times.
- have successfully completed general studies courses. A grade of C or above is required in many of these courses. For additional information, contact the office of the BSN Program Coordinator or visit the School of Nursing website at www.troy.edu.
- have a current, unencumbered RN license in state of clinical practice if student is entering the RN Mobility course sequence.
- be able to achieve certain core performance standards required by the duties of the nursing profession.
- If transferring from another school of nursing, submit a letter from the dean/department chair of that school stating that the student was eligible for continuation in the school. Students transferring from another school of nursing who are not or were not eligible to continue in the nursing program in which they are/were enrolled are not eligible for admission to 麻豆网站列表鈥檚 BSN program unless they first completed an associate degree program from a regionally accredited institution and/or a nationally accredited nursing program (ACEN, CCNE, CNEA) and are registered nurses.
Progression
- Students are required to have an overall GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for enrollment in the Clinical Nursing Sequence.
- Students are required to make a grade of C or better in each nursing course.
- Students may repeat only one 3300-4400 level nursing course required in the BSN clinical nursing sequence (with the exception of NSG 3315, Pathophysiology): therefore, a second D or F in any 3300-4400 level nursing course (with the exception of NSG 3315 Pathophysiology) will result in automatic dismissal from the program.
- Students who are planning to apply, or have applied, but have not yet begun, the BSN Clinical Nursing Sequence, may repeat only one 3300-4400 level nursing course from the required courses in the clinical nursing sequence; thereafter, a D or F in a 3300-4400 level nursing course will automatically disqualify the student from entering the BSN Clinical Nursing Sequence.
- Students who drop or fail a theory or clinical course with a co-requisite component must drop the co-requisite course.
- Comprehensive Exam will be administered in NSG 4417 Professional Nursing Seminar. This exam will account for 45% of the course grade. (Note: The exam is not required for students in the RN Mobility track.)
- Students must graduate within 150% of program completion time (7 semesters to be completed in no more than 3 1/2 years) from date of admission to the clinical nursing sequence to date of graduation from BSN program.
Additional policies related to the BSN program may be found on the School of Nursing website. Enrollment may be limited based on available resources.
Degree
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, the student is awarded the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree and may then apply to the Board of Nursing to write the licensing examination to become a registered nurse (RN).

Admission to the professional social work curriculum
Students must be admitted to the professional social work curriculum in order to enroll in advanced social work courses, beginning with SWK 3390. Students are encouraged to declare social work as a major during the freshman or sophomore year in order to ensure that they will meet the requirements for admission in a timely manner. Otherwise, the student may be out of sequence in meeting program requirements. Admission to the professional social work curriculum is usually accomplished during the first semester of the junior year concurrent with enrollment in SWK 2250, which precedes enrollment in SWK 3390 the following semester. To be eligible to apply for admission, each social work major must (1) have a minimum GPA of 2.5 (on a 4 point scale) in all college courses attempted and have completed a minimum of 30 semester hours, and (2) have completed ENG 1101 and 1102 or ENG 1103 and 1104; COM2241 or 2243; HS 2240, 3310 and 3370; and SWK 2250 and 2280 (or be currently enrolled) with a grade of C or better. Procedures for applying for admission to the professional social work curriculum may be obtained from the Department of Social Work. Students completing all but 3-6 hours of general studies courses will have the best opportunity of being unconditionally accepted into the program. Students with more than 6 hours may have a delayed acceptance or conditional admission.
Progression in Social Work
- Students are required to make a grade of C or better in each of the required departmental core and professional curriculum courses (all HS, RHB, and SWK prefixed courses.)
- Students may repeat only one 3000-4000 level departmental course; thereafter, a D or F in any 3000-4000 level departmental required course will result in automatic dismissal from the social work program.
- A student remains in good standing by maintaining, at a minimum, a 2.5 GPA in all course work taken and a 2.5 GPA in all required departmental and professional courses.
