BSN Transfer Student Equivalency Guidelines for Local Colleges & Universities

All students transferring into the BSN program must meet Block Transfer policy. Please email transcripts to Andrea Coughlan (coughlan@up.edu) for a transfer credit evaluation.


There are multiple paths to Block Transfer:

  • Complete an associate degree designed for transfer:
    • Associate of Arts for Oregon Transfer (AAOT)
    • Washington Associate of Arts Direct Transfer (DTA)
    • California Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)
  • Complete a BA in a liberal arts discipline (not technical or occupational) with a strong general education foundation.
  • Complete 60+ semester credits (90+ quarter credits) including at least 11 classes across a breadth of liberal arts disciplines which satisfy at least 4 out of the 6 University Core Habits.
  •  

BSN Foundation Requirements

All BSN Transfer students must also satisfy the BSN Foundation Requirements of:

  • Statistics
    • One introductory level Statistics course (also satisfies University Core requirements)
  • Chemistry
    • Either one year of high school Chemistry, or one college-level course.
  • Anatomy and Physiology (full series with labs)
    • Focus on the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems.
    • Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.
    • Must have been completed within 5 years of acceptance into the program.
  • Microbiology with lab
    • Structure, physiology, and genetics of cellular microorganisms and viruses, discussed in relation to the pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases including study of the immune system.
    • Laboratory investigation of microorganisms that affect human health, with an emphasis on proper handling of specimens, selective and differential cultivation, laboratory diagnosis, and evaluation of antimicrobial agents.
    • Must have been completed within five years of acceptance into the program.
