Admission into professional healthcare schools is complex and your cumulative GPA is a key peice of the puzzle. Most professional schools only accept applicants who have a 3.0 GPA or higher.

For this reason, the WSU Health Professions Student Center has established a minimum GPA requirement for students wishing to work with the center.

• Student in nursing or nutrition and exercise physiology must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better after two semesters at WSU.
• All students seeking a bachelor’s degree or who are post-baccalaureate students while completing the prerequisites for professional school must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better after two years of study.

Students whose cumulative GPA falls below the minimum will be deferred from the program until improvement is made. Students may request to rejoin the Health Professions Student Center once their cumulative GPA is once again 3.0 or higher.

If your cumulative GPA is below the 3.0 threshold, it is recommended that you explore alternative career paths. Exceptions may be made for programs with other GPA requirements on a case-by-case basis.
