Minimum cumulative GPA for admission Not published. Confirm with the school. Our two readings of the page disagreed (“2.50 (TEAS required for a GPA of 2.50–2.99)” vs “2.50 (with TEAS composite 66 if below 3.00, or below 3.50 without a 3.00 science GPA)”), so we are not publishing a value yet.

ABSNcheck summarizes requirements that schools publish on their own websites, with a link to each source and the date we last verified it. Schools change requirements, sometimes contradict themselves, and make individual decisions. Results show whether you meet published minimums; they are not an admission decision or a guarantee, and are not official advice from any school. Always confirm requirements with each program before you apply or enroll in a course.
