Florida Atlantic University - Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing

Entrance to the RN-BSN Track requires a minimum 2.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
A grade of "C" or better in all required prerequisite courses.
Completion of 60 lower division college credits from an accredited institution and an Associate's degree program in nursing from an NLNAC accredited institution or its international equivalent.
If you are transferring in with an Associate of Arts from a non-public Florida University or an Associate of Science from any university (in-state or out-of-state), you may have additional core classes that are required by the university. At the time of application a program assistant will review with you to determine if you will need to incorporate these courses into your curriculum plan.

RN to BSN Application Process

Application Process

Complete the FAU Undergraduate Online Application. Please note: being accepted into FAU does not guarantee acceptance into the College of Nursing and the Undergraduate Nursing Program. When filling out your application:
- Select pre-nursing as your major.
- Send your official transcripts to the FAU Admissions Office.
- If you have an International Degree, follow the directions at FAU's International Admissions page.
Complete the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing application.
Once you receive confirmation of your admission to FAU, contact Student Services at the College of Nursing to register for an orientation/advising appointment as the final admission step. Applicants are only formally admitted to the College of Nursing upon completion of their records review at the advising appointment.
A federal background check and drug screen are required conditions of admissions. The cost of all components of these procedures including any repeat procedures if needed is the responsibility of the applicant/student. The flu vaccine and health insurance are only required in the semesters during which RN-BSN students register for NUR 4829L: Nursing Practice Immersion.
