*We strongly recommend that students
complete as many of their general education
requirements as possible before entering the
One Day per Week Nursing Program.
Students accepted without completing their
nursing general education requirements must
take those required courses concurrently with
the other nursing courses. These additional
classes would require an additional time commitment
beyond the day required for the One Day per
Week option.
Admission is on a competitive basis where GPA, TEAS test results, quality of the clinical experience and academic performance will be considered. Priority is given to Ocean County residents.
Students
with disabilities are encouraged to contact
the Center
for Academic Services for additional assistance.
