Can anyone share insights on the transfer requirements for Fullerton College's nursing program? I want to ensure I meet all necessary criteria since nursing programs can be super competitive!
To transfer to Fullerton College's nursing program, there are a few requirements that prospective students must meet.
Firstly, you will need to be admitted to Fullerton College by completing the school's general application process. This includes submitting your high school transcripts and any college transcripts if you have attended an institution previously. The college may also require placement tests depending on your major.
Specifically for the nursing program, the following are required:
1. Hold a high school diploma or GED equivalent.
2. You must have completed pre-requisite courses with a GPA of 2.5 or better. These courses are typically in Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, and Freshman English.
3. You will also need to take and pass the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS).
It's important to note that admissions to Fullerton's nursing program are point-based, meaning your eligibility would be determined based on your points in several categories such as GPA in prerequisite courses, previously earned degrees/certificates, work/volunteer experience in the healthcare field, proficiency or degrees in foreign languages, etc. Points are also awarded for local residency.
Finally, bear in mind that because of the high demand for this program, not all applicants who meet the minimum requirements will be accepted. So, it's beneficial to focus on ways you can strengthen your application overall.
Be sure to contact the school's admissions or nursing department for the most accurate and updated requirements for the nursing program transfer. This can also help you understand the competitiveness of the program and help you prepare your application accordingly. Good luck with your nursing journey!
