B.S. Wellness Studies

A student seeking admission who has prior enrollment in another nursing program will only be considered for admission if the student has a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 in nursing courses and has been enrolled in a nursing program within one year of anticipated enrollment in nursing at Avila University. Students will not be considered for admission if they have received a grade of “D,” “F,” or “W/F” (withdraw/failing) in any previous nursing program. Upper-division coursework must be taken at accredited (regional and professional) four-year universities.

A student seeking an exception to nursing admission criteria must submit a letter of petition to the coordinator of the School of Nursing Admissions Committee.

High school seniors admitted to Avila may secure a place in the nursing program by meeting, at a minimum, the following criteria:

24 ACT Composite

24 ACT Science sub-score

3.0 cumulative high school GPA (on a 4.0 scale) or it's equivalent

To maintain Direct-Entry status, you must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher when beginning the Nursing program, and all other criteria for admission must be met.

If no ACT score is available, a minimum SAT score (CR+M) of 1090 and a review of high school science courses will be required.
