Pre-Nursing
Application Process
Application start dates vary. Some nursing programs accept applications once a year
and some can be up to three times/cycles per year (example: fall, spring, summer)
so please research each individual program carefully.
At this time, OSU's BSN program only matriculates students in the fall.
NursingCAS
Nursing Centralized Application System
Many, but not all nursing programs participate in NursingCAS. If a nursing program
is not a member of NursingCAS, they will have their own individual application process and procedures.
Please review each nursing program’s official admissions website for full details
and instructions about their application process. Some programs include additional steps, sometimes including a second application.
OSU's BSN program uses NursingCAS.
