Will schools offer another major if your student is not accepted for nursing?

Mom of a junior here. She’s a great kid with all As and Bs in college prep- not the type of kid with 100 AP classes. Her SATs were not what nursing schools want, so we are looking mostly at test optional schools.

She wants to apply to some schools where I think she would be admitted to regular majors, but getting in to their nursing major would be a reach. Does anyone know if universities will offer students another major if they don’t get into the nursing major? Or do they just refuse admission altogether?

Specifically these schools:
University of Delaware
University of Rhode Island
Sacred Heart University
Quinnipiac
West Chester University

This is her current list. But if you can answer for schools in general, that’s great too!

Thanks!
