Program Overview
Have you ever considered getting general education credits for the Nursing program before you even begin the nursing program?

Another aspect of the Pre-Nursing Certificate program is the option for guaranteed admission to the School of Nursing.
To be eligible for guaranteed admission, you will need to complete the following four courses at Carolinas
College of Health Sciences and receive an overall 3.25 GPA for these courses:
- Anatomy and Physiology I
- Anatomy and Physiology II
- Medical Terminology
- College Math
For guaranteed admission, these four courses must be completed at Carolinas College within three consecutive terms. Only the grades earned on
the first attempt at these courses will be considered in calculating the GPA eligibility for guaranteed admission. Those who earn guaranteed admission will be admitted to
the Nursing program no sooner than one full term after completion of all four required courses.
