Admissions

Admissions at Tarrant County College

Moderately Competitive.

• TCC operates under an open‑admission policy for general enrollment—meaning general admission to the college is available to all applicants meeting basic eligibility. However, the nursing program is a selective admission program, requiring meeting specific eligibility criteria and submitting a separate nursing‑specific application.
• For the nursing prerequisites, applicants must earn at least a grade of “C” in each of the three specified science courses. Most admitted applicants have a science GPA of 3.4 or higher.
• The required science prerequisite courses, which must be completed within the last 5 years, are:
• – BIOL‑2401 Anatomy & Physiology I
• – BIOL‑2402 Anatomy & Physiology II
• – BIOL‑2420 Microbiology for Non‑Science Majors (or BIOL‑2421 for Science Majors)
• TCC requires applicants to take the HESI A2 admission test and score a minimum of 75 on each of its five sections (Anatomy & Physiology, Grammar, Math, Reading, Vocabulary).
