What is happening?

Stanislaus State will be limiting the number of students admitted to pre-nursing starting Fall 2021. Additional criteria will be required for freshmen admission to pre-nursing as outlined below.

Pre-nursing is a designation for undeclared students who intend to apply to the nursing program.
