Lyndon offers a pre-nursing curriculum to prepare students for admission to Castleton State College’s Associate Degree in Nursing that is offered on Lyndon’s campus.

Admission to the Castleton State College Nursing Program at Lyndon is highly competitive, with only 16 students accepted into the program each academic year. Formal acceptance into the Castleton State College Nursing Program is contingent upon a highly successful academic record.

Application Process

Students who are interested in the pre-nursing program must complete the Lyndon application and submit it to the Lyndon Admissions Office. Students must first apply and be accepted to Lyndon State’s pre-nursing program before consideration for enrollment into Castleton’s nursing program.

Each spring semester, Lyndon sponsors an information session for all pre-nursing students to introduce the process for transfer into Castleton’s nursing program. That process includes the opportunity to meet Castleton faculty, as well as receiving copies of the Castleton application form and other information.
