Pre requisite for MCC nursing program

Published

Hello, I was wondering if anyone that has finished all their pre-requisite for nursing at MCC could tell me if the rumor I heard is true or not. I have taken pathogenic microbiology (2730), but I heard that it is no longer accepted as a pre-requisite for the nursing program at MCC. Instead you have to complete general microbiology (2400). Can someone please respond.

Thank you,

Jasmine

Hi there honeybumps, happy Friday!!!

Per your request: (right from the Macomb.edu website)

Nursing Program Selective Admissions 2010-2011

Notification: Important change in the Selective Admissions process for the Nursing program.

The GPA for ranking will now be based on three prerequisite courses. Therefore, to apply to the Nursing program for 2010-2011, these prerequisites must be completed by the end of Fall Semester 2009. The GPA of these three prerequisite courses will be weighted at 50% of the applicant ranking.

The GPA for the Selective Admissions ranking will be based on the following

prerequisite courses:

  • ENGL-1180 Communications or ENGL-1210 Composition I
  • BIOL-2730 Pathogenic Microbiology or BIOL-2400 General Microbiology
  • BIOL-2710 Human Physiological Anatomy

The HESI Admission Assessment Test (A2) administered for the 2010-2011 Selective Admissions cycle will test Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, General Knowledge and Anatomy and Physiology. The composite score will be weighted at 50% of the applicant ranking. The HESI A2 will continue to include the Learning and Personality Style Profiles for the benefit of the student. The Profile is not included in the composite score.

Note: Please refer to the 2010-2011 Selective Admissions booklet available March 2009 for detailed admission information and HESI testing dates.
