Admissions at Oregon Health & Science University
- •Acceptance/admission rate – OHSU does not publish an official acceptance or admission rate for its nursing programs. I found only anecdotal estimates (e.g. via third‑party blogs or forums) which are not authoritative. Therefore, no verified acceptance rate could be cited from official sources.
- •Minimum GPA – For the 3‑year B.S. in Nursing program, a minimum 3.0 GPA in prerequisite courses is required, and each prerequisite course must be completed with a C‑ or better.
- •Prerequisite GPA details – The 3‑year B.S. program explicitly requires completion of 28 quarter (or 19 semester) prerequisite credits, with C‑ or better in each course, and a minimum prerequisite GPA of 3.0.
- •Concurrent enrollment pathway – For the online B.S. in Nursing concurrent enrollment pathway, the minimum GPA to graduate is 2.0, though this refers to graduation—not admissions; it does note that applicants with a GPA between 2.5 and 2.99 may still apply.
