The wait time varies depending on the number of applicants who have met all requirements for admission; the Waitlist is updated continuously. Students will be called for admission in the order their names appear on the Waitlist which is based on the date and time of the Nursing Program application. If, at the time your name is called, circumstances prevent you from beginning the Nursing Program, you may defer your admission twice and on the third invite, you must accept or reapply subject to all current requirements.

Up to half of each class (Summer and Fall admissions) will be selected from the applicants who have completed all general education courses required for the AAS degree.  Students who qualify need to see a counselor for an Accelerated Application.

Our admission is competency based, so once you have met our waitlist requirements, you will be admitted into the Muskegon Community College Nursing Program; as of Fall 2023 wait time was about 1.5 years.  Accelerated Applications can hopefully cut some time off the estimated regular wait time depending on how many students are qualified for the accelerated applications at any given time.
