Admissions

Admissions at Reading Area Community College

• Here’s what I found regarding nursing program admissions at Reading Area Community College (RACC), based on official .edu sources:
• Acceptance/admission rate: No published admission or acceptance rate for the nursing (ADN/RN) program was found on the RACC site or official catalog.
• Minimum cumulative GPA: Applicants must achieve and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 (in all courses taken at RACC, including prerequisites and nursing curriculum courses). A “C” grade or higher in all required courses is also mandatory.
• Prerequisite coursework: Applicants must complete prerequisite courses prior to applying to the clinical nursing program. Required courses include algebra, chemistry, biology, and advanced biology (or their equivalents), with “C” or better in each.
• TEAS test requirement: RACC uses the TEAS® (Test of Essential Academic Skills). The process requires referring to the TEAS Information Booklet, but no minimum TEAS score threshold is publicly specified on the RACC pages.
• Waitlist or selection notes: The catalog notes that once eligible, students can be placed on a waitlist: “The wait list will remain active until 2 weeks prior to the beginning of Fall classes. After that time, all students must resubmit eligibility forms to be considered for the following year.”

Format

Schedule and format at Reading Area Community College

• Here’s what I found from official RACC sources regarding schedule and format flexibility for nursing programs:
• Delivery formats (online/hybrid/on-campus):
• RACC’s Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program is delivered on-campus only (classroom instruction plus in-person clinicals); no mention of online or hybrid delivery on the official Nursing Program page.
• RACC does not appear to offer an entirely online or hybrid option for entry-level nursing; however, articulation agreements with partner institutions (e.g., Alvernia University, Bloomsburg University, Chamberlain, Drexel) permit online or blended formats for the RN-to-BSN completion programs after graduation.
• Schedule flexibility (day/evening cohorts, start options):
• The ADN program offers two distinct start formats:
• – Day Program: four semesters over two years; classroom 2 days/week (2–3 hrs/day), clinical/lab 2 other days/week; once started, students must complete in day track.
• – Evening Program: seven semesters (including winter & summer sessions) over two years; classroom one evening/week (~4 hrs), clinical/lab 1–2 additional evenings/week; once started, must complete in evening track.
• Time-of-day schedule (asynchronous vs synchronous):
• Class sessions and clinical/patient care experiences are scheduled synchronously, not asynchronously:
• – Nursing classroom courses are scheduled between 7 AM–9 PM, varying by semester and program option.
• – Clinical/patient care experiences run between 6:30 AM–10:30 PM depending on agency
