UNM College of Nursing has a direct admit program. It requires a 2 stage admission process–first a student must be admitted to UNM, then a separate application for College of Nursing is required. Admission to the nursing program is competitive with 3.5 minimum GPA required.
Admitted students may defer entry into the program for up to a year.
Near the bottom of the page are details about the curriculum required and academic requirement to continue in the program.
UNM also accepts students into the nursing program after they complete their pre-licensure coursework. (End of sophomore year)
Although it says a minimum GPA of 2.75 is required to apply, admission is much more competitive than that. Neighbor’s D applied 3 times with 3.0 GPA and was never admitted. She eventually earned a RN elsewhere and never did complete her BSN.
