The official four-year BSN page states there are no prerequisite course requirements and lists no entrance exam; the only published GPA threshold (2.5) governs transfer entry, not freshman direct entry. Sourced from official Loyola four-year BSN page (2026-06-27); incomplete because most published numbers pertain to transfers.
