Assessment Technologies Institute Test of Essential Skills (ATI TEAS)
Students applying for admission to the nursing program are required to take the Assessment Technologies Institute Test of Essential Skills (ATI TEAS). Developed and administered by the ATI, TEAS is an exam of 170 multiple-choice questions. ATI TEAS is offered in a computerized format. The minimum required overall total score is 58.7% or higher (proficient or higher). Applicants to the nursing program are required to have a minimum reading score of 70% or higher. A passing score in the ATI TEAS exam is required to petition for the nursing program.
You must first meet with an Allied Health and Nursing petitioning advisor to obtain a list of admission criteria and prerequisite coursework. Your petition for program admission will be considered complete once you have met all criteria and have completed the last prerequisite course. Please contact healthscienceadvisor@pgcc.edu for more information.
The nursing program requires students to complete prerequisite courses with grades of C or higher, maintain a specified GPA, and meet program-specific requirements before petitioning for program admission. In some cases, students may petition while currently enrolled in their final prerequisite courses. A grade of W has no impact on the student's GPA, but counts as one attempt at the course. Third attempts in all qualifying prerequisite courses are not accepted.
