A student must first apply to Pfeiffer using a regular application from the Admissions Office as a pre-nursing student.
Students who complete the prerequisite requirements may then submit a nursing application in the spring semester of their sophomore year for consideration into the upper-division nursing major. Qualified transfer and change-of-major students must meet the same academic criteria for admission as first-time freshmen. Records of students transferring to Pfeiffer University from other academic institutions are evaluated and transfer credit is granted as is appropriate. Up to 20 students who meet admissions criteria will be selected to start nursing courses each fall semester.
The application for fall semester 2021 enrollment into the upper-division is due Feb.1 by 5 p.m. (postmarked).
Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) scores must be included with the application. (Scores for TEAS exams taken elsewhere will be accepted if taken during the previous six months.) The TEAS exam will be administered at Pfeiffer’s Misenheimer campus in November and January, dates, and times to be determined.
All students wishing to enter the nursing program must take the TEAS exam. To register, contact Tammy Lilly, (704) 463-3434. The cost is $65 to be paid by credit card to the testing company on the day of the test.
Completed applications may be delivered to the Department of Nursing directly or mailed to:
