Application Types

  • If you are a transfer student, and meet the BSN admissions criteria, including earning a minimum composite score of 70th percentile on the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS), and have a minimum college GPA of 3.0 and an overall nursing science and math prerequisite GPA of 3.0,  then you are encouraged to apply to Level 1 Nursing as direct entry, using the Common Application. Within the Transfer Common Application, you can find the specific nursing application by searching for Nursing and Hawaii Pacific.
  • If you are a transfer student, but still working on your BSN requirements, you may complete your prerequisites at HPU. You are encouraged to apply as a pre-nursing student, using either the HPU Application, or the Common Application (non-nursing version).

  • First-year students interested in Nursing should indicate Pre-Nursing on their application, and apply using either the HPU Application or the Common Application. Direct entry into Nursing is available only for a select number of first-year students admitted to the Nursing Scholars Program.
