Admissions requirements
Here is what Westmont College publishes about applying to its ELM program, taken from the school’s own website, catalog or application documents. Each row links to the page we used and shows the date we checked it. Requirements change from cycle to cycle, so confirm with the school before you apply.
Needs a recheck Some details below may be out of date, so check the school’s current pages before you rely on them. We plan to recheck by Jun 30, 2027.

How we label selection. SEAPHE sorts each school’s stated method into one of five groups: Lottery, Points (ranked), Points and lottery (hybrid), Holistic review or Eligibility-based. The school’s own wording appears under the label, with a link to the page we used. How California nursing schools choose students.
Prerequisite courses
Course names are the school’s; the grey label is the category SEAPHE uses in the prerequisite planner.
