Penn State Altoona Second Degree BSN

Published

Hello all! I've looked over PSU Altoona's Second Degree BSN website, as well as e-mailed a faculty member, and I still have some questions about the program that I'm hoping someone could answer for me. :)

1. Does the admission's committee look at the cumulative GPA for the pre-requisite classes only, or the applicant's overall bachelor's degree GPA in addition to the pre-requisite classes? I'm just worried because my cumulative undergrad GPA is around a 2.9, but my pre-req GPA is a 3.7.

2. Are classes and clinicals during the week only, or are some over the weekend? How long are classes and clinicals each day?

3. When does the application cycle open for transfer students for the Fall 2014 program? I saw applications open for fall in September, but does the second degree program open earlier than this? I know the deadline is November 30.

If they can't I'm sure they can refer you to someone. I wish I could be of help but I'm in the Associates program :) Good luck!
