Transfer of Credit Policy

Please see below about information regarding our Transfer of Credit Policy:

TRANSFER CREDITS FOR MSN and DNP GRADUATE PROGRAMS*

Students may transfer up to nine (9) credit hours toward their MSN and DNP course work. Transfer credit is considered for courses taken elsewhere. The following graduate courses must have been taken within five years of admission: Advanced Pharmacology, Advanced Health Assessment and Advanced Pathophysiology. Work presented for transfer credit must be from an accredited college/university and is subject to evaluation in light of the degree requirements of the college. Transfer courses are not computed in the GPA.
The student must submit an official transcript to the DNP Program Director of the specific track they are applying to, and he/she must make a request for the transfer credit, demonstrating successful completion of the courses. A course syllabus must also be submitted. A grade of “B” or higher must have been earned in each course. The courses will be recorded on the student’s record to fulfill the program requirements.

*MSN programs will be phased out in the near future.
