Transfer Credits at Arizona College of Nursing

I'm researching options for nursing schools and am curious about Arizona College of Nursing. Can anyone share how they handle transfer credits? Do they have a lenient policy, or is it tough to get previous coursework accepted?

Arizona College of Nursing does have certain guidelines when handling transfer credits that can give a clear sense of whether previous coursework would be accepted. They require students to submit official transcripts from all colleges attended, and will evaluate these to determine what credits can transfer.

Each course is evaluated individually, but in general, they tend to accept credits from regionally accredited institutions if the material covered is similar to that in their program. A course needs a grade of 'C' or higher to be considered for transfer, however, Science and Math courses demand a high grade of 'B'. Additionally, some courses might only transfer as elective credits if they do not directly align with the courses offered in their nursing program.

As a nursing program tends to be fairly specialized, some courses could get accepted as general education credits but may not always fulfill particular nursing-related requirements. They probably won't be as lenient with accepting nursing-related courses compared to general education courses. Still, the best strategy is to directly consult with their transfer admissions counselor who can provide more precise advice regarding your specific situation.

These policies can change over time and may depend on certain factors, so always verify current policies with the school before making crucial decisions.
