<p>Next time the list is updated, please correct the spelling of Duquesne! Great resource!</p>

<p>Just visited Clemson. It is not a direct entry school for a BSN. Isn’t that what you’re trying to compile a list of??</p>

83

<p>The list is supposed to be a compilation of colleges that ARE direct entry programs.</p>

84

<p>So, heyholmes, you are saying that Clemson should be deleted from the list.</p>

85

<p>Maryville University in St. Louis, MO
Milwaukee School of Engineering, WI (no kidding!)</p>

86

<p>Grand Valley State University (MI)
A limited number of new freshman students are eligible for direct admission to the nursing major. Admission is based on exceptional performance in a number of academic and leadership areas.
Eligibility for Direct Admit status to the undergraduate nursing program includes:</p>

<p>•New freshman student
•Cumulative high school grade point average of 3.6 or higher
•ACT composite score of 30 or higher
•All of the application for admission documents, including ACT score, must be submitted to the GVSU Admissions Office by December 31 of the senior year of high school
•Declaration of a nursing major by the end of the first week of classes during the first semester of enrollment at GVSU</p>

87

<p>The list compiled is great but it seems like most of the schools are on the East Coast or midwest. Are there other colleges west of the Mississippi that have a direct admission program?</p>

<p>I didn’t remove Clemson from the list. From their website:</p>

</p>

<p>That sounds like direct entry to me. Is there any conflicting evidence? Please let us know. </p>

<p>As for universities and colleges in the west - again, please let us know! This list has been compiled from little bits and pieces that many people have contributed to over time. Do some research if you need to and please share the results.</p>

<p>I live in California, which participates in the Western Undergraduate Exchange. ( [Western</a> Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) | Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education](<a href=“http://wiche.edu/wue]Western”>http://wiche.edu/wue) ) I was hoping to find some Direct Admit programs within these member schools to help keep the cost of tuition down. While I didn’t look at every school in the Exchange, I did a large sampling and didn’t find any other schools than those listed here that offer Direct Admit. All were 2+2. I don’t know why the West is underrepresented by Direct Admit schools. </p>

<p>If you come across any in your search, please post here. Good Luck</p>

<p>Clemson is definitely direct entry. I called to make sure. :)</p>

<p>Would you count Ole Miss or the University of Mississippi? My daughter is looking for a direct admission program in the sunbelt and this seems to work. The hang-up is that you complete two years in Oxford at the Ole Miss campus and complete your bachelors program in Jackson at Mississippi’s University Medical Center.</p>

<p>Here’s the link
</p>

<p>[Freshman</a> Early Entry (BSN) - About the Program](<a href=“http://son.umc.edu/academics/baccalaureate/traditional/fee/index.html]Freshman”>http://son.umc.edu/academics/baccalaureate/traditional/fee/index.html)</p>

<p>University of Mississippi program does offer a Freshman Early Entry program. But our experience talking to other schools that offer the same thing is that there are only a very small number of students who are accepted into a FEE program. The odds are against you trying to compete for even fewer slots unless you are an Uber Student, (Minimum 3.5 GPA and ACT of 24). Their main BSN Program is a Traditional 2+2 program. Even the FEE works like a 2+2
 two years of Pre-Requisits and then jump into nursing your Junior year. Good Luck with your Search</p>
