Open Admission 2024-2025

Admission to the nursing program is different than admission to the University of Northern Colorado; there are two separate applications required.

  • Application to the University:  Use the code 鈥樎槎勾絥ursing鈥 to waive the application fee.
  • Application to the Nursing program:  麻豆传媒's NursingCAS application will be available mid-November.

It is highly recommended that ALL applicants to the 麻豆传媒 BSN programs first meet with a pre-nursing advisor to ensure you have all elements of your application complete. To meet with an advisor, you must be first admitted to 麻豆传媒 and have a bear number. You may still apply without completing this step, but please note that if you are missing any items your application will be rejected.

The completed application to the Nursing program is due, through NursingCAS, by Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025, at 5pm (MT). 

The applications go live in NursingCAS on November 1st, 2024.

Selection Process

There are many components that go into our admission criteria that help us see who you are. GPA and the HESI exam give us a glimpse of how you perform academically. The Casper assessment and the Standardized Recommendation Surveys tell of your ability to work with others, communication, flexibility, problem-solving skills, and other professional attributes you possess. The different admission criteria come together to create your 鈥渁dmission score鈥:

  • Admission GPA - 50%

    Admission GPA will be calculated using the most recent 45 credit hours of coursework and GPA from all completed nursing prerequisite courses.

  • HESI assessment - 20%

    The HESI score is generated by averaging the scores from the 4 test categories (required subcategories):

    • Reading Comprehension
    • Vocabulary and General Knowledge
    • Basic Math Skills
    • Anatomy and Physiology

    There is no total or subcategory minimum score.

    You may only submit one HESI score/transcript each calendar year.  You may submit HESI scores that are more than a year old.

    You may only take the exam once within the window of December 1st, 2024 and January 17th, 2025 by 5pm (MT).

  • CASPER assessment - 10%

    Casper is a soft-skill assessment. Casper measures 10 competencies: collaboration, communication, empathy, equity, ethics, self-awareness, resilience, professionalism, problem solving and motivation.

    Casper uses a unique, open, video and text response format, leading to more authentic, in-the-moment responses. You can justify your reasoning, express your values, and share your individual perspectives and experiences.

    Each test is rated by multiple independent raters, with a different rater for each scenario. The final score is an average of all raters鈥 unique impressions, reflecting diverse perspectives on the applicant鈥檚 performance. This reduces bias.

  • Standardized Recommendation Surveys - 10%

    The Standardized Recommendation Surveys will be in the form of a survey that will be sent to your references, one from an academic reference and one from a supervisory reference, requesting information about your ability to work with others, communication, flexibility, and other professional attributes you possess on a 1-5 point scale.

    To obtain the recommendations, you will need to input the contact information (name and email address) of the two people you have asked to complete the recommendation in NursingCAS.
