Advising

Students who are interested in pursuing Pre-Nursing should indicate Pre-Nursing as their area of interest on the Declaration of Major form. Declared students will then be assigned an advisor from our office. All students must meet with their advisor before Fall and Spring registration. Students who are also pursuing a major at UMBC should first plan to meet with their major advisor, and then consult their Pre-Nursing advisor. Students who are part of the UMSON/UMBC Partnership must meet with Ms. Kelly Simer or Ms. Paula Ashby.

Common Pre-Requisites

We have provided a list of common pre-requisites necessary for admission to nursing schools. It is important to note that this list is not inclusive of all nursing schools. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with schools you are interested in attending and determine what/if any additional requirements are needed.  A printable version of this list can be found below.
