• The upper division (years 3 and 4) is selective admission. Requirements include:
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.4 on a 4.0 scale.

• Attendance at a BSN Information Session (in-person or virtual).

• Must hold an AAS/ADN or Diploma in nursing from an accredited program, and have an unencumbered RN license in Colorado.
• Must provide a current American Heart Association CPR Certification.
• If applying more than 3 years after completion of the associate-level nursing credential, applicants must document at least 1,000 hours of nursing work experience within the past three years.

Format

Schedule and format at Colorado Mountain College

• CMC’s nursing education pathways (for RN‑BSN and the new prelicensure BSN) include online coursework, with the exception of required community‑based practicum hours.
• The traditional BSN (prelicensure) program is offered primarily in person at the campuses in Breckenridge, Spring Valley (Glenwood Springs), and Steamboat Springs.
• A selective admission process exists for the upper‑division (third and fourth year) BSN cohort; applicants must apply in their second year and must attend an information session, which can be either in‑person or virtual.
• Regarding scheduling—such as evening, weekend, multiple start dates, or asynchronous versus synchronous formats—no details were found on the official nursing program pages. It is not clear whether there are evening/weekend cohorts, multiple cohort start options, or asynchronous course formats.
• CMC uses an Interactive Video System (IVS) that delivers courses via live, real‑time video across multiple campuses, allowing students at remote locations to participate synchronously in classes. It’s unclear if any nursing courses specifically use IVS; the general system suggests there may be synchronous distance‑delivery options available.
• On transfer credit / advanced‑standing policies:
• CMC participates in the statewide Guaranteed Gen
