Question 1

Overview

Accepted Answer

Transfer students typically apply to the university and declare pre-nursing as their major. The pre-nursing major is designed for students who intend to apply for admission to our Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program. Students may apply for admission to our upper-division BSN program in the fall if they meet eligibility. 
 
The pre-nursing major is comprised of Auburn University general education courses and prerequisite courses that will prepare students for upper-division nursing curriculum.  
 
Although the College of Nursing does not offer a separate program for second-degree students, students with a bachelor’s degree in other disciplines are encouraged to apply to the upper division. 
Admission to Auburn University does not guarantee admission to the College of Nursing.

Question 3

Cost

Accepted Answer

Tuition and Fees will follow Auburn University's cost of attendance per academic year. More information on Cost of Attendance can be found HERE(https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.auburn.edu%2Fadministration%2Fbusiness-finance%2Ffinaid%2Fsteps-for-aid%2Fcoa_all.html&data=05%7C01%7Chennepp%40auburn.edu%7C6bd2cdfc3675408313f608db32057500%7Cccb6deedbd294b388979d72780f62d3b%7C1%7C0%7C638158771239744428%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=SqIcc%2BzMPj97198317jOpzzKrNxcdY42NiSprlZo0vs%3D&reserved=0)

A more detailed estimate of expenses for upper division students can be found below. These are in addition to Auburn University's Cost of Attendance.

Detailed Expenses by Semester(https://auburn.box.com/s/ishemltnv5zek41612oin2xs8g2e673j)
The amount that students pay in tuition and required fees represents a sizeable and important investment in their future. However, student payments alone do not cover the full cost of providing any of Auburn's educational programs. Even after state appropriations are included, some programs require funding through additional fees in order to provide a high-quality learning environment that students expect. Like the basic tuition and fees, these additional amounts help to cover not only the direct costs of providing instruction and advising in these programs but also indirect costs associated with Auburn's role as a comprehensive center of higher education for the state.
