Admissions at Grand Valley State University

• Here’s what I found regarding nursing program admissions at Grand Valley State University (Kirkhof College of Nursing), drawn from official and authoritative GVSU sources:
• Minimum GPA requirements (Traditional BSN) — Applicants must have an overall GPA of at least 2.7 (across all college-level courses) and a prerequisite GPA of at least 2.7, with grades of C or better in all required courses.
• Prerequisite courses required (Traditional BSN) — Must be completed prior to application, include BIO‑120, CHM‑109, PSY‑101, WRT‑150 (or equivalent), CHM‑234, BMS‑250, and one additional general education course. Corequisite courses (BMS‑251, BMS‑212, BMS‑213, STA‑215, PSY‑364) can be in progress during application but must be completed prior to program start.
• Weight of prerequisite GPA in admissions — The prerequisite GPA accounts for 25% of the overall admission decision among four components (prerequisite GPA, interview, personal statement, student profile).
• Repeat policy — Applicants may repeat up to three prerequisite courses (only two can be from BMS, CHM, or BIO) and no course may be repeated more than once.
