University of Colorado College of Nursing's Accelerated Nursing program (UCAN) program - 2026

Published

Hey all! Applications for Spring semester just opened March 1st for CU's accelerated program. I just wanted to start a thread and potentially meet some other prospective students! I'm currently working on my application and would love to find some people to discuss with throughout the process.

Hi! The application process takes a while to get verified through Nursing CAS so make sure you submit early! I am going to apply soon!

Hi, 

I applied April 12, and my application has been verified. I am just waiting for a notice to hopefully interview!:)

Hi everyone! I'm planning on applying for the fall 2026 semester start. I was wondering if anyone had information on admission stats (average pre-req GPA accepted, average overall GPA accepted, etc.) or could share their admission stats if comfortable. I'm currently retaking a few prerequisites to get the highest grade I can, but am wondering if I should take extra classes to bring up my overall GPA.

I know pre-req grades typically hold more weight, but just looking for a ballpark of what my overall GPA should be. Any help is appreciated!
