The TEAS score is required for application to the Nursing Program.

The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is a standardized entrance exam used by nursing programs across the country to evaluate a student’s readiness for the academic demands of nursing school. The exam assesses skills in reading comprehension, English language usage, math, and science, focusing on foundations that are critical for success in health care education.

LBCC now accepts TEAS scores from online exams taken directly through ATI. Please note that we accept only the first TEAS score a student earns, so preparing thoroughly before testing is very important.

LBCC no longer offers the TEAS exam.  We do accept the online TEAS taken through ATI (www.atitesting.com).

To help students feel confident and ready, LBCC offers noncredit, no-fee TEAS preparation courses:

TEAS 600: English and Reading

TEAS 605: Math and Science

These free prep courses provide targeted review and practice to support students before taking the exam.
