an incoming college freshman
If you’re looking for a college experience that prepares you for a successful career that changes your life and the lives of your patients, Brenau’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program might be the right fit for you.

If you don’t have a 3.0 GPA, don’t worry. You can still start at Brenau as a pre-nursing student. Then, once you finish your core classes, and study hard to pass your HESI exam, you’ll enter the Mary Inez Grindle School of Nursing and graduate with your BSN.
These programs prepare you for the NCLEX exam and to begin your career as a working nurse.
