The BLSON is pleased to announce that effective for the Fall 2021 admission cycle, applicants who have met all admissions criteria including all pre-requisite courses will be considered for admission on a rolling admission cycle. Applicants who are in progress with completing three pre-requisites pending will also be considered in the regular admission period. With rolling admissions, the BLSON will evaluate applications as they are received versus waiting to evaluate all applications after a hard deadline. Registered nurses who have been in practice over 10 years do not have to repeat the pre-sciences courses to be admitted in the program.
