OVERVIEW
Admission to the Division of Nursing is a two step process.

STEP ONE Applicants must apply to and be accepted by Martin Methodist College.
STEP TWO After admission to Martin Methodist College, applicants must apply for admission to the Division of Nursing.

Admission to Martin Methodist College does not guarantee admission to the baccalaureate nursing program. The Division of Nursing limits the total number of students admitted to the program depending on the resources available. This limitation applies to all applicants seeking admission to the Division of Nursing for its upper division major.

FRESHMAN ADMISSION TO MARTIN METHODIST COLLEGE
Applicants who apply to Martin Methodist College as freshman and are interested in nursing, must declare themselves as pre-nursing majors. Freshman applicants must meet the general entrance requirements of Martin Methodist College. In addition, freshman who are pre-nursing majors are required to submit an official copy of their ACT scores. Applicants who have an ACT reading score of less than 24 must take the COMPASS Reading Test. A COMPASS Reading test score less than 94 will require pre-nursing majors to take additional English comprehension courses in order to prepare themselves for successful completion of prerequisite and requisite nursing courses. After completion of the additional English courses and before applying for admission to the Division of Nursing, the COMPASS Reading Comprehension test must be taken again. A minimum reading score of 94 is required to be considered for admission to the Division of Nursing.

All pre-nursing majors will be mentored by the nursing faculty. Each semester prior to registration, mentees must meet with their mentor. The purposes of these advisement sessions are to: a) assist students in planning and registering for required core and prerequisite courses, b) track the mentees course work to ensure efficient and timely academic progression, and c) aid student in obtain career counseling, if needed. Tracking students assists the College in planning the needed number of course sections and in assigning classroom space.
