  Prelicensure Interviews :  Please note that an interview is conducted prior to admission into either Prelicensure track. The interview is competitive and is conducted in a group setting as the ability to work and interact effectively with others is of the utmost importance to the major and to the field. Alternate interview dates are not available.  The dates are posted well in advance so that candidates may plan accordingly.

  
  Nursing Orientation :  Please note that there is a mandatory 2-day orientation (Taking Flight) for all students admitted to the Prelicensure tracks. Failure to attend will result in the forfeiture of one’s seat.
