Recommendations for admission to the nursing major
Many nursing courses have a didactic and a clinical, or laboratory component. Students must satisfactorily complete both components of the course. An unsatisfactory grade in the clinical component will result in failure of the course.
In addition to the general Hiram College admission requirements, it is recommended that students interested in the nursing major have:
- A minimum high school GPA of 2.75,
- An ACT composite score of 22, with a math and scientific reasoning sub-score of 22, and
- Completion of biology, chemistry, and algebra I and II with a grade of "B" or better in each
As with all prospective Hiram students, nursing students are advised individually throughout their Hiram education. Students meeting Hiram general admission requirements, who do not entirely meet the additional recommended nursing requirements, will be offered individual academic advisement during the application review process, to increase success in the program.
