Nursing (BSN) Prelicensure

Nursing (BSN)

UNC Wilmington's Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes to practice family-centered, professional nursing in a variety of current and emerging health care delivery systems. In addition, our program is designed to provide a foundation for graduate nursing education. Through interactions with patients — individual persons, families and communities — and other health care professionals, nursing graduates will contribute toward meeting the wide-ranging health care needs of the region, state, and the larger community.

Our program admits students twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The fall cohort application deadline is November 15 and the spring cohort application deadline is July 1. To find out if nursing may be a good fit for you, we invite you to explore more about the program below.
