How to Apply:
Step 1: Apply or reapply to UTRGV and be accepted
All School of Nursing BSN undergraduate applicants must apply to UTRGV and be accepted to the university. You must ensure that you have a UTRGV email address and current UTRGV application on file through applytexas.org. Ensure that all your official transcripts have been submitted for each college you attended to the Registrar’s Office.
Currently enrolled students at UTRGV: Go to step 2 if your UTRGV application is up-to-date.
New students: visit Undergraduate Admissions and review “how to apply” to UTRGV.
Re-admit students: you are a re-admit applicant if you are a former UTRGV or UT Pan American/UTB/TSC student still seeking your first bachelor's degree, even if you have enrolled at another college or university since you last attended UTRGV or UTPA/UTB/TSC. Re-admit students visit Undergraduate Admissions and review “how to re-apply” to UTRGV.
Second Degree Students: If you previously graduated with a bachelor’s degree, review the admissions process for “Second Degree Students” and how to pursue a second bachelor’s degree.
If you have questions regarding applying to UTRGV, please contact Admissions; call 888-882-4026 or 956-882-8983 or email admissions@utrgv.edu.
Step 2: Apply to the UTRGV School of Nursing
After completing your UTRGV application, complete and submit your School of Nursing Application on TK20 for your intended BSN program of study. We offer three pathways to a BSN degree. Ensure that you are selecting the appropriate program of study from the list below.
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a generic BSN program for students who are currently not RNs
- Second Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) for students who already have a non-nursing bachelor’s or higher degree and are seeking a second bachelor’s degree
- RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is for students who already have an associate degree in nursing (ADN) and are seeking a BSN
