Admission to Mid-America Christian University's (MACU) AAS in Nursing Program is competitive and contingent upon meeting all program requirements and prerequisites.  Submission of this application does not guarantee admission to the program. 


All application materials will be reviewed for eligibility, and applicants must provide complete and accurate documentation to be considered.


Acceptance into the program is based on a comprehensive evaluation of academic performance, required documentation, preference point scoring, and compliance with admissions standards outlined in this form.


We review applications for the next start date.  If you are not accepted, you are welcome to reapply for a future start date.

Preference Point Self-Assessment

Admission to the AAS Nursing Program is competitive. Applicants are selected based on a combination of academic qualifications and a preference point ranking system.

Before completing this application, please review the Preference Point Scoring Table below and estimate your total points. This self-assessment is intended to help you determine your competitiveness for admission.


Please note:

  • This is an unofficial self-assessment. Final point calculations will be completed by the Admissions Committee after all required documentation has been received.
  • Preference points are awarded only for official documentation submitted with your application (such as transcripts, licenses, and certifications).
  • Meeting the minimum admission requirements or earning preference points does not guarantee admission to the Nursing Program.
  • Applicants with higher preference point totals are generally more competitive for available seats.

If you have questions about how your points may be calculated, please contact the Enrollment Office before submitting your application.

Nursing Compliance Documentation

Clinical settings will require the following Immunization Records to meet NESA standards.  A nursing clinical is a hands-on supervised component of nursing education. Documentation must show completion of all required immunizations and must be provided before the required School of Nursing Orientation meeting. If completing a multi-dose series, documentation of doses received to date is acceptable.  Documentation of required immunizations will be needed for the following:                                                                                           

• COVID-19 Vaccine Series: Students who do not wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccine series must request a medical exception or a religious exemption, which must be approved by the clinical site.

• Influenza Vaccine: Due yearly, students who cannot receive an influenza vaccine must provide documentation from a physician requesting this exception. Per hospital and clinical site policy, if an exemption is granted, the student will have to wear a face mask during all clinicals. 

• PPD: Students must provide written proof of a negative 2-step PPD. Each step must be completed one to three weeks apart from each other. The PPD annual update will be required. Students with a positive PPD must provide documentation of chest x-ray results and a TB questionnaire. Proof of a negative chest x-ray and a TB questionnaire must be completed annually.

• Tdap Vaccine: Documentation of the vaccine within the last ten years must be kept current. Other vaccines, such as DTaP and Td, will not be accepted.

• Hepatitis B Vaccine: Students must submit documentation of 2 or 3 Hepatitis B vaccines or a positive Hepatitis B titer. If students have neither, they must begin the Hepatitis B series. Dose 1 and Dose 2 must be dated at least 28 days apart, and Dose 2 and Dose 3 must be dated at least 16 weeks apart.

• Titers:

   • Positive Rubeola Titer: If negative or equivocal, proof of one post-titer Rubeola booster is required.

   • Positive Varicella Titer: If negative or equivocal, proof of two post-titer Varicella boosters is required.

  • Positive Mumps Titer: If negative or equivocal, proof of two post-titer Mumps boosters is required.      

A copy of your CPR Certification will be required prior to the first day of class.  The CPR can be from either the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association. Note:  There will be a CPR training made available on campus.  Please contact the School of Nursing for available training dates.
