How do I apply?
Those wishing to enroll in the program need to apply to St. Norbert College. Requirements into the pre-nursing program are exactly the same as admission requirements to St. Norbert College.

Incoming freshman have until May 1st prior to their first year to alert the Office of Admission at St. Norbert College that pre-nursing is their intended major.

What are the costs for the program?
St. Norbert pre-nursing students have the same tuition as any other student. Pre-nursing students are offered the same financial aid as any other major.

Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in the spring of their senior year. This form is necessary to qualify for federal and state financial aid, including grants and loans. When it's time to start classes in Bellin's 15-Month Option, when filling out the FAFSA, the student will indicate Bellin College instead of St. Norbert College to receive the new financial aid packages.

A degree of difference
Students who complete the program will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Bellin College and will be recognized as alumni of both Bellin and St. Norbert Colleges.

They will be well positioned for immediate success in the health care industry. Statistics show that 100 percent of Bellin graduates seeking employment obtain positions within four months of graduation. Bellin nursing graduates are especially sought after for critical care positions because of the strong clinical practice base they acquire during their college careers.

St. Norbert’s liberal arts curriculum teaches students how to see issues from varying viewpoints and how to understand the dynamics of an organization—invaluable qualities regardless of profession.

A world of opportunities awaits those who complete the program. Graduates have gone on to work in acute-care settings, long-term care facilities, public health offices, home care, occupational health care and administrative positions, to name a few. Many go on to pursue master’s degrees, where additional opportunities, such as becoming a nurse practitioner, are possible.

Where will I live?

With our traditional residential campus, all students must adhere to our Residential, Housing and Education requirements, which include living on campus unless commuting from home less than 35 miles.

Once a student has completed their general education requirements at St. Norbert College, students have the freedom to find housing closer to Bellin College in the Green Bay area for the final 15-Month Option program.
