Local hiring managers say they actually fight over UIndy’s nursing graduates. One reason is UIndy’s BSN is among the top-tier in Indiana, providing you with nursing experience, knowledge, and extra online preparation to master the nursing licensure exam (NCLEX) upon graduation and prepare for your first nursing job and further nursing education. UIndy partners with local health systems so you get six semesters of hands-on, supervised patient care—making you ready to make a difference upon graduation.

Watch UIndy's nursing mission trip
Starting my first year in the program, I was immediately exposed to the clinical setting, allowing me to directly interact with patients. UIndy provides an incredible hands-on learning experience that instills confidence and affirms your true passion and calling.
All applicants to the BSN program need to have completed at least two semesters of high school biology, two semesters of high school chemistry, eight semesters of high school English, six semesters of math (such as algebra I and II, geometry, and/or calculus), and a modern language class such as Spanish, French or German.
Once you have been accepted to UIndy, you will be assigned a pre-clinical coach/academic advisor, who will help you plan the courses you'll need to take your freshman year. Then, you must apply by mid-April of your freshman year to be considered for fall clinical courses and by mid-August to be considered for winter clinicals. When you have been admitted to the clinical phase of the program, then you will be assigned a nursing faculty advisor.
Consideration for admission to the clinical phase is based on the following criteria:
* Please note that admission is competitive and fulfillment of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
Once you have been accepted to UIndy, your college transcript will need to be assessed to determine if you have completed all nursing prerequisites. You will not be able to apply for nursing clinicals until all nursing prerequisites are complete. To determine if all prerequisites have been met, you will need to contact Karen Childers at 317-788-3244 or by email at kchilders@uindy.edu. Once all nursing prerequisites are complete, you must apply mid-February to mid-April to be considered for fall clinical admission, or mid-July to mid-August for winter clinical admission.
Consideration for admission to the clinical phase requires a cumulative GPA of 2.82 or higher in all nursing prerequisite courses, as well as completion of the criteria listed above for traditional applicants.
*Please note that admission is competitive and fulfillment of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
These curriculum guides outline the different classes you will need to take as a BSN major. The general education guide provides a list of all the classes you need in order to fulfill UIndy’s general education requirements. Be sure to take a look at both guides in order to get a complete picture of what your classes will look like at UIndy.
