Application Support

Students preparing to apply to any professional program should start considering how they want to present themselves in their application at least two terms before they formally apply. The Pre-Nursing advisors in the PMHSC are available to assist with reviewing coursework, assessing personal statements, discussing schools of interest, and more. You can schedule your appointment online.

When discussing schools of interest, we’ve prepared a sheet detailing the prerequisite courses for major Nursing programs in Michigan and Metro Detroit. Our goal is to ensure you get into a program that matches your capabilities and aligns with your career goals in nursing. By planning ahead and exploring all your options, we aim to help you find the best fit for your future success.
