This is a limited-entry admission program. You must meet specific program entrance requirements in addition to the PCC admission requirements. You must complete all general education requirements with a “C” or higher to be admitted to the Nursing program. Please apply through the Colorado Community College Nursing Program Admission website; you can submit your application any time after completing the prerequisites outlined in the Nursing Department Information Packet. We will rank your application numerically based on the date you complete all requirements. Your ranking will determine your date of acceptance into the nursing program.
Note: Clinical agencies used during the program require that you successfully complete a background check and a drug screen. Please check with a program advisor for any changes to admission requirements.
