Admissions

Admissions at Bismarck State College – Dakota Nursing Program

Moderately Competitive.

• Here’s what I was able to verify from authoritative Bismarck State College (.edu) sources regarding Dakota Nursing Program (Practical Nursing → ADN) admissions:
• No published acceptance or admission rate (percentage) could be found on official BSC/Dakota Nursing Program pages.
• Minimum GPA requirements:
• For continuation from Practical Nursing (PN) into the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program, students must maintain a minimum program GPA of 2.75.
• For all ADN applicants, required college course grades must be C (2.0) or higher (“C”/“T”/“S”), and nursing GPA for required nursing courses must be 2.75 or higher.
• TEAS / HESI thresholds:
• A score on the ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor exam (from ATI Nursing Education) is required for admission to the ADN program.
• The TEAS exam (probably TEAS by ATI) is administered via BSC Testing Services for the Dakota Nursing Program; scores are valid for two years and testing is offered October through May. However, no specific minimum threshold is stated.
