Admissions

Admission Information for CCU
The Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN) program at Colorado Christian University serves potential students throughout the admission process. Each applicant is assigned an Enrollment Counselor (EC) from CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) to assist with the application. Once application material is complete, the applicant is assigned a CAGS Student Services Advisor (SSA) to help them transition into the program.

Students can enter the RN-BSN Completion Program at multiple points in the academic year. Applications are processed and evaluated three times annually:

  • February 15th
  • June 15th
  • October 15th

Completed applications must be received at least two months prior to the next start date. Class size is limited, so we encourage all applicants to begin the process as soon as possible. To be considered for admission, students must have:

  • A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
  • Completed an associate degree in nursing or diploma in nursing from an accredited institution.
  • Proof of active unencumbered RN licensure (USA)

The first step in the application process is to submit an application online for admission to CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies. Once your application is complete, you must also submit the following entry requirements for the RN-BSN program.
