Announcements
Informational sessions on how to apply to the Traditional BSN program will be held beginning in October for current SCSU students. Please use your SCSU email address to register for one of the below sessions. After you register, you will recieve the meeting invitation in your email.
Students are required to select a major while preparing to apply to the BSN program and may choose from any of Southern’s Undergraduate Programs; However, it is within the B.S. Healthcare Studies degree program that students will receive advisement specifically for nursing application preparation and complete the appropriate coursework for a seamless transition into the nursing program if admitted. Students who select a different major may use the resources on this site for self-guidance.
Current students may select or change their major by completing this electronic form: https://apps.southernct.edu/owls/sop/main
Based on the information above, the pre-nursing advisement concentration will no longer be available to future students. Eligibility requirements apply to those who still have a pre-nursing concentration on their degree evaluation. See here for more details: Pre-nursing Concentration Eligibility
