ABSN Prerequisites: UST Houston
While you may hold all the necessary qualifications to apply to our ABSN program, it’s likely you may also need to complete prerequisites before you can become eligible to apply for our Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program.
ABSN Prerequisites
Prerequisite courses provide the foundation for your ABSN coursework, preparing you for anything and everything nursing school will send your way.
Talking with the UST admissions team is a good first step in determining exactly which ABSN prerequisite courses you may need to complete. They can review your academic history and unofficial transcripts with you to help determine which credits will transfer and develop a plan for completing any remaining courses in time for your target start date in our program.
You may take these courses through the University of St. Thomas Houston, or any other accredited college or university.
Completing these courses through the University of St. Thomas is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with our intuitive e-learning platform.
To meet UST’s ABSN requirements, you must complete prerequisites with a B or higher in each nursing prerequisite course.
