The program runs on a limited admission basis admitting 24 qualified candidates in the fall and spring semesters. The number of students admitted into the program is monitored by the West Virginia Board of Examiners for Registered Nurses.

The program gives priority to students with the highest academic scores because of the competitive nature of admission to the academically rigorous program.
