Prelicensure Nursing Information Sessions
Getting Started
Nursing Information Sessions and our online information guides are intended for prospective nursing students to learn about the nursing pathways available at ASU.
The Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation prepares graduates for excellence upon entering the workplace. Since certification and licensure requirements vary by profession and from state-to-state, we recommend that you visit Professional Licensure (https://admission.asu.edu/academics/licensure) to determine the requirements of individual state licensures or national certifications.
