Students who are interested in pursuing a degree in nursing at Prairie View A\&M University should begin by carefully reviewing the PVAMU Catalog to understand the general university admissions requirements. This includes ensuring they meet the academic criteria set by the university and have completed any necessary prerequisite coursework. In addition to the university-wide requirements, students must also review the specific admission criteria for the College of Nursing. These criteria vary depending on whether the student is applying to the Generic BSN program or the online RN-BSN program, and it is important for applicants to confirm that they meet all outlined requirements before proceeding.

Once students have thoroughly reviewed both the university and College of Nursing admission guidelines, they are ready to begin the formal application process. Applications to the College of Nursing are submitted through NursingCAS, a centralized application system used by nursing programs across the country. Using NursingCAS allows applicants to submit all required documents and information in one place, streamlining the process. It is essential that students follow the instructions provided by both PVAMU and NursingCAS to ensure their application is complete and submitted by the appropriate deadline.
