Admissions

Admissions at Pellissippi State Community College

Competitive.

• No specific acceptance or admission rate (%) is published on official PSTCC sources. The program appears to be competitive—strong completion and ranking points (e.g., more science credits, high HESI scores) improve chances—but no overall admission rate is provided.
• Minimum GPA threshold: The official materials do not state a minimum GPA requirement for nursing admission. However, they do require that all math and science prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
• HESI (Nurse Entrance Test): A score of at least 90% on the HESI A2 test—when taken at PSTCC—is noted to provide additional ranking points toward admission (i.e., a competitive advantage).
• Prerequisite coursework & timeline:
• – Applicants should complete general education and prerequisite courses (e.g., Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Microbiology, Statistics, English Composition, Communications, Psychology, and Humanities/Fine Arts electives), ideally before beginning the nursing curriculum.
• – Science courses must have been completed within five years of program start.
• – Completing the listed courses does not guarantee admission—students must still formally apply and be accepted.
• Waitlist information: There is no mention of a wait

Format

Schedule and format at Pellissippi State Community College

• Delivery formats (online, hybrid, or on-campus)
• The Nursing A.A.S. program uses traditional classroom lectures and extensive hands‑on clinical/lab experiences across campuses (Blount County, Magnolia Avenue, Strawberry Plains).
• There is no mention of courses being offered in an online or hybrid format for the nursing curriculum itself.
• Evening, weekend, or multiple cohort start options
• The college offers evening, weekend, online, and hybrid classes in general, including for veterans.
• However, there's no specific indication that the nursing program itself has evening or weekend sections, or offers multiple cohort start options, beyond what’s typical for general courses.
• Asynchronous vs. synchronous coursework
• The general online classes (non-credit and certificate courses) offered through Ed2Go, UGotClass, etc., are self‑paced, with flexible weekly expectations like readings, quizzes, and discussions.
• The Nursing A.A.S. program, however, includes traditional lectures and simulations, implying synchronous, in-person coursework. There is no mention of asynchronous components.
• Transfer credit or advanced-standing policies
• Transfer of credit to Pellissippi State: A grade of C or better is required in cours
