Catalog cites a historical benchmark of ACT 24 or SAT 1160 and four years of math and science (algebra, biology, chemistry) for nursing applicants; acceptance to the university does not guarantee the nursing major. Progression checkpoints require cumulative GPA 2.5 after fall of freshman year and 3.0 to enter 2000- and 3000-level nursing courses. University application (Cedarville Priority App or Common App) is free when submitted by November 1 and requires a Christian leader reference.
