To be considered for admission to the Wellstar School of Nursing undergraduate program, you must take the ATI TEAS Test within 5 years prior to the nursing application deadline and submit your scores to KSU. The test can be taken remotely online or in-person. You may also retake the test as many times as needed. Submitting your scores to KSU: If you are taking your test at a KSU site, then you do not have to take any action. If you are testing remotely or at a different site, please choose “Kennesaw State U BSN” in the drop down when prompted.
