Admission to the Nursing Program
Prospective nursing students must be admitted to BMCC as well as to the Nursing program. The department has a limit on the number of matriculants allowed in the Nursing program each year.
Please be advised that the Borough of Manhattan Community College’s Nursing Program receives far more applications than there are available seats. Consequently, not all eligible students are admitted to the program.
The college does not guarantee entry into the nursing program. Some students have found it necessary to apply two or three times before being admitted to the nursing program.
The BMCC Testing Office offers free prep classes to help students prepare for the CUNY tests in reading and writing and mathematics.
