Nursing Advantage

Pending successful completion of required criteria during the first two years of prerequisite courses and maintaining a 3.0 GPA, all directly admitted students would have a guaranteed place in the nursing program for their junior year. Students must provide the same information as Students at Wingate (see above). An application for admission is still required by May 1 for tracking purposes. Academic progress will be reviewed by the Nursing Department each semester and any student not maintaining the admission requirements will be removed from the Direct - Admit list and eligible to apply as described above. Once Direct-admit status is lost, it cannot be regained. 
 
For students not granted direct admission, students who change their major after enrolling at Wingate University, transfer students, and students who just aren't sure the direct admissions pathway is for them, there is still an opportunity to enter the Nursing program. The following qualifications must be met to apply to the nursing program sophomore year:

• Maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher
• Earn a grade of “C” or higher in HETH 210 and HETH 105*
• Earn a grade of “C” or higher in the following science courses: BIO 101, BIO 211, BIO 212, BIO 230, CHEM 101
• Successfully complete the following courses before beginning the Nursing Program: ENG 110, MATH 116, MATH 209, PSYC 101, PSYC 250
• Achieve a minimum score of 68 on the TEAS exam

*A student may only repeat HETH 210 one time. If the student does not make a grade of “B” or better on the second attempt at the course, he/she is not allowed to repeat it and must change their major, as they are no longer eligible to be considered for the program.

The Advantage Program is not an option for students who change their major after enrolling at Wingate University and transfer students.
