Admission criteria

Chamberlain University’s BSN Admission Committee applies a holistic admission process when determining academic eligibility. The BSN Admission Committee reviews applicants using a holistic model evaluation system that considers several factors: previous coursework, CGPA and HESI Admission Assessment (A2), ACT, SAT or TEAS scores.
