Students can possibly meet these requirements by careful selection of distribution and additional elective courses. Students should work with a counselor, completion coach or academic advisor and the catalog of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer for further guidance specific to their goals. Early in the program, students should check with their intended transfer university/college advisor for specific admissions and Nursing program requirements for course choices where options are listed for Humanities, Mathematical & Natural Science, Social & Behavioral Science and electives. A cumulative college-level GPA of 2.0 is required. Some transfer institutions require a higher overall GPA, a higher GPA in a subset of courses, or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses.
