Nursing - Bachelor of Science (B.S.N.)

McDaniel College's Nursing Bachelor of Science (B.S.N.) program is designed to prepare future nurses with the essential skills and knowledge they will need to excel in the field of nursing. With our new state of the art facilities and partnerships with Carroll Health and Lifebridge Health, nursing students partake in a comprehensive set of courses with accompanying lab and experiential components, designed to take you from theory to practice and licensure. Dedicated faculty provide the support and mentorship you need for academic and professional growth as you pursue your fulfilling career in healthcare.

McDaniel College offers several pathways for admission to the Nursing program. Admission consideration for nursing is a multi-step process. In all cases, applicants will first be reviewed for admission to McDaniel College. Only those who are admitted to McDaniel will be considered for the nursing program. The strongest applicants will be invited to a mandatory interview as part of the nursing admissions process. Following the interview, candidates will be notified if they have been admitted to the nursing program.

Direct Entry:

McDaniel College is pleased to admit a small number of students directly into the pre-health nursing track as incoming first-year students. This guarantees a spot in the Nursing cohort assuming all prerequisite requirements are met.

Gated Entry:

Some students may not be sure of their interest in pursuing Nursing until they are already enrolled at McDaniel, or they may not be admitted to the direct-entry program. These students will have an opportunity to apply to the Nursing program at the end of their third semester.

Transfer Entry:

Students from other colleges or universities are eligible to apply to transfer to our B.S.N. program.
