Admissions
Admissions at Trocaire College
Programs here admit roughly 83% of applicants. Moderately Competitive.
- Here’s what I located regarding admission specifics for Trocaire College’s nursing programs, based on the most authoritative and current .edu sources and reputable data aggregators:
- Acceptance/admission rate (overall college, not nursing‑specific):
- Trocaire's overall undergraduate acceptance rate was approximately 83 % for 2023, based on 171 acceptances from 206 applicants.
- A more recent external aggregator reports a much higher acceptance rate of 97.49 % for 2024–25, but this figure appears inconsistent with the internal data trends.
- No specific acceptance or admission rate was published for the nursing programs themselves; only general institutional statistics are available.
- Minimum GPA thresholds:
- For the Practical Nursing Certificate (PN) program (first‑time freshmen): high school GPA of 75 % or GED score of 165+.
- For the Practical Nursing Certificate, transfer/program‑change applicants need a 2.5 CGPA from college/university courses in the past 5 years.
- For the Associate A.A.S. in Registered Nursing (RN) program: first-time freshmen require a minimum high school CGPA of 85 %, or equivalent GED, and transfer/program‑change applicants must hold a 2.75 CGPA.
- Entrance exam minimum thresholds:
- For the PN Certificate, applicants must score at least 73 % in each HESI A2 section (math, vocabulary, reading comprehension) ([trocaire.edu](https://trocaire.edu/academics/academic-program/nursing/?ut
