The TEAS® is an assessment product of Academic Testing, Inc (ATI). The WCU School of Nursing Undergraduate Pre-licensure program uses applicant performance on the ATI, in addition to Verbal SAT and current collegiate grade point average, to rank applicants to the program. Unlike the Verbal SAT, only the first time TEAS® score is accepted.
ATI provides information regarding the TEAS® at:
