The
Department of Nursing at Southwestern Oklahoma State University
(SWOSU) is thrilled to unveil innovative new pathways designed to
streamline nursing school admission.
Jump
Start Application for Pre-Nursing Majors
First,
the Jump Start Application process provides early assurance that
students are on track for success, offering personalized advisement
to guide them through the preparatory stages of their academic
journey. Students who submit the Jump Start Application receive
specific, personalized advisement related to their nursing
application. It helps ensure they are well-prepared for the
traditional application process. The Jump Start Application is open
from September 1 to November 30 of the fall prior to the nursing
application deadline. The application can be found at
www.swosu.edu/nursing/BSN/ under BSN Traditional Track. For
questions, contact Courtney Bryan at courtney.bryan@swosu.edu.
Traditional
Entry—Traditional Application
Next,
for those who prefer the traditional route, the standard application
period remains open from December 1 to February 1, following the
established process for applying to the BSN program.
SWOSU’s
Department of Nursing offers a comprehensive Bachelor of Science in
Nursing degree, preparing students for success in a rewarding
healthcare career. The program provides small clinical and lab
groups, hands-on learning experiences, and personalized support from
faculty members. Upon graduation, SWOSU Nursing students benefit from
a 100% career placement rate. The application can be found at
www.swosu.edu/nursing/BSN/ under BSN Traditional Track. For
questions, contact Courtney Bryan at courtney.bryan@swosu.edu.
Save
Me a Seat—Direct Admit Pathway (DAP) for High School Juniors and
Seniors
Finally,
the SWOSU Department of Nursing is introducing a new application
option for high school students interested in pursuing a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing (BSN). These updates will provide more
opportunities and support for prospective nursing students, allowing
them to plan their academic paths with greater certainty and ease.
High
school juniors and seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.8 and an ACT
superscore of 25 or greater can now secure a seat in the SWOSU
Nursing program through the Direct Admit Pathway (DAP). This
streamlined process guarantees automatic admission to the traditional
BSN program, contingent upon maintaining the required GPA in all
SWOSU courses and other program criteria. This option offers students
peace of mind, knowing they have a clear path to becoming nursing
professionals. Applications for the DAP are accepted on a rolling
basis until August when students begin at SWOSU as freshmen.
Interested juniors and seniors in high school can apply here:
