Any Sam Houston State University Spring 2013 prospective students out there? - Page 2

Hi tessthebest I got accepted at Sam too!! and BTW I go to SHSU and they are accredited now. They received it after their first graduating class so dont worry And you could always call and ask the secretary Brandy is very nice and will answer as much as she can for you

No, they didn't. They're holding their first site review today for the accreditation. They're candidates, meaning they've applied.

If you ever want to see which schools have been accredited in TX, here's the list

It says they are accredited by SACS (forgot what it stands for)...do they need more accreditation?

That's the overall school's accreditation. Definitely important, but being a graduate of an accredited nursing program means it was accredited by the NLNAC or the CCNE. If they're granted accreditation at any point while you're there, you'll always be a graduate from an accredited school. If they're accredited after you graduate, it doesn't come back to you.

Not trying to discourage anyone from attending, just something to be aware of when you're decision making

Whose starting the program this fall?

I'm hoping to transfer next semester... if you have any v suggestions or input it would be great!

I'll probably go here if I do not get accepted anywhere in Houston. Oh and yall I went and spoke to the advisor for the med programs and I was told they were expecting to be accredited in August.

Hi!
Do you mind sharing your stats? I'm just curious of my chances. I'm so nervous. I'm getting ready to apply to shsu nursing for the spring. My overall gpa is 3.2 and my science gpa is 3.5. I made an overall 85.3% on my teas.....
Thanks for any input

GPA- overall: 3.4 /science: 3.2 I believe
I got an 83 on my TEAS

Ok that's pretty close to mine. So hopefully I will get in too! Thanks so much for sharing. I appreciate it
