I am currently in the GCU program I am in my first semester. It is very competitive and you NEED to have a over all GPA of a 3.0 or higher each semester (not just in nursing courses in any other courses you are taking along with it ). Also they require you to have a 77 + test average for each nursing class. Even if you do great on other course assignments and have a B and you have a 76 test average you will fail the course... You are aloud to fail 1 nursing course and re take, any other failures you will be kicked out... It is rough ...but I understand why it is the way it is. -- all above applies to all of nursing at GCU not just fast track Good luck !!
