As a nurse, you can make a real difference in someone’s life. Whether you are working in a clinic, office, or hospital, you’ll offer hope to patients and their families as well as celebrate with them when they receive good news.
Of all the helping professions, nursing is the most respected, according to a Gallup survey. Nursing is also a career field where jobs are plentiful; the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a nine percent job growth for RNs and a 45 percent job growth for advanced practice registered nurses between now and 2030.
Considered one of the best in the state, AUM’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a traditional, four-year baccalaureate program with two full-time, two-year components: lower division (Pre-nursing) and upper division (Nursing).

The Auburn University at Montgomery Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) program is considered one of the best in the state. The traditional four-year baccalaureate program has two components — a lower division (Pre-Nursing) and an upper division (Nursing). The lower division (Pre-Nursing) component takes 4 semesters to complete if taken on a full-time basis. The upper division (Nursing) component takes 5 semesters to complete and must be taken on a full time basis.
After completing most of the lower division (Pre-Nursing) courses, students must apply for admission to upper division (Nursing) of the School of Nursing. Nursing applications are separate from the general university application. The number of students admitted to upper division is limited, and applicants are chosen based on their academic performance in the lower division prerequisites, Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) score, an interview, math and science grades, and amount of AUM credit earned.
This baccalaureate curriculum prepares graduates to provide comprehensive care in a variety of acute, community and rehabilitative settings. It also provides a solid foundation for graduate study.
