While the UNC Greensboro application makes you eligible for admission to the university as a whole, there are certain majors which have additional selective admission requirements or guidelines.
NEW! Direct Admission to Nursing School
We’re proud to offer Direct Admission for first-year students seeking to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Students can be admitted to the program right away, instead of waiting for a competitive application process after completing prerequisite courses. UNCG is the first UNC System university to implement this streamlined new process for our high-demand BSN degree program. See information on the Nursing B.S.N. degree below.
