- Minimum 500 on both Verbal and Math SAT
- ACT minimum 20 composite score
- Completion of high school chemistry with a C- or better.
Freshmen students may declare/progress in the 2+2 major at the end of their first semester if they have passed (with a C- or above) both Introduction to Biology (Bio 10/11) and Introduction to Psychology (Psych 10). A GPA of at least 2.5 by the end of the first semester is also required.
Students must obtain a C- or above in all courses required by the California Board of Registered Nursing (including all science, psychology, English and communication courses).
