Designed for the student who plans to transfer to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at a four-year university, the Associate in Pre-Nursing offers a broad spectrum of academic courses that prepare students for upper-division coursework leading to the Bachelor of Science, Nursing degree (entry-to-practice/basic BSN). Pre-nursing graduates are prepared to apply to BSN programs at various institutions across Washington state, including the following baccalaureate institutions that are participants in this agreement with the community and technical college system: University of Washington, Seattle; Washington State University; Northwest University; Seattle University; Seattle Pacific University; Pacific Lutheran University; Walla Walla University; and the Washington State University Intercollegiate College of Nursing (WSU-ICN), a consortium whose members include Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga, and Whitworth. Associate degree transfers to WSU-ICN are admitted through WSU, not through the other consortium institutions. Meeting the minimum requirements for this DTA/MRP does not guarantee admission a BSN program. Admission deadlines for transfer institutions vary, and students are required to meet the transfer admission deadline. Nursing-related programs are competitive and may require a higher GPA than a 2.0 overall. Minimum GPA requirements may vary among nursing programs. It is recommended that students pursuing the Pre-Nursing degree contact their potential transfer institutions early in their program regarding specific course choices in each area where electives are listed. To receive the DTA degree, students must have earned a minimum of a cumulative college-level GPA of a least a 2.0 and have completed at least 90 quarter hours of transferable credit, including a minimum of 60 quarter hours of general education courses as shown below. CPTC does not offer every course each quarter. It is the student’s responsibility to discuss sequencing and work out their individual schedule with a program counselor, located in the Advising and Counseling Office. Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase the program length.
Students are required to be proficient in intermediate algebra, which is a prerequisite to the math courses included in this program. Individual courses may have prerequisites.
