Baptist College of Health Sciences is a four-year college offering baccalaureate degrees in Nursing and in several Allied Health areas. The professional and clinical Nursing courses usually begin in the junior year after all general studies requirements and pre-requisites have been met. In the Nursing major, clinical education courses begin three times per year. In each of the Fall and Summer trimesters, up to 72 students are scheduled to begin in each class. In addition, in the Spring trimester, up to 40 students are enrolled in the evening/weekend cohort. Baptist College is unique in this region because there is not a two-step admissions process.

Successful applicants are admitted to the College and the Nursing major at the same time. Unlike some other nursing programs in the region, Baptist College does not expect you to complete all your pre-requisites before enrolling. On the contrary, as a baccalaureate degree granting college offering all necessary general studies courses, we prefer that you enroll as soon as possible and earn credits for your pre-requisites at Baptist College. Late transfers (i.e., those students with a large number of transfer credit hours) will not be admitted to Baptist College unless Nursing slots are available.

First priority on clinical progression into the Nursing major goes to students who are already enrolled at the College. Students who begin with us as freshmen or who are early transfer students are given priority. The dates posted under "Day Track" and "Evening/Weekend Track" are the earliest times for progression into professional and clinical Nursing courses for students who are not currently enrolled at Baptist College. Should space become available in the Nursing progression for others to begin professional and clinical nursing courses, currently enrolled students -- based on seniority -- will receive first consideration for movement into earlier progression slots.
