How to Apply

Step 1: Apply to the University of Memphis

Prospective students, including freshmen, transfer, and second-degree students, are required to apply to the University of Memphis and select their major as Academic Focus-Health Professions. Upon designation, prospective students are categorized as pre-nursing and receive guidance from a pre-nursing advisor at the Academic Advising Center (AAC). To schedule an advising appointment, please contact the AAC at (901) 678-2062 or acc@memphis.edu. It is essential to meet all university admissions requirements and adhere to the University of Memphis's application deadline. Current UofM students and admitted transfer students who have met LCON’s admission criteria can proceed directly to Step 2, omitting this initial application step.
