UNK’s Pre-Nursing program is a 2-year, pre-professional program that prepares students to enter a nursing program, which is typically another 2 years to earn a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing).The UNK Pre-Nursing program is based on the requirements for admission to the Nursing Program at the UNMC College of Nursing.
Acceptance into a nursing school is competitive, and completion of the 2-year pre-nursing program does not guarantee admission. Smaller class sizes, top faculty, and unique learning opportunities at UNK prepare pre-nursing students. Our acceptance rates are exceptional.
