Co-requisite and suggested courses, completed with a minimum grade of “B-”, may be given points in the application process.

*PSY 1010 or HFST 1500 is required for the ASN degree. If the additional course is completed, you may receive points in the application process.

** Associate degrees require a quantitative literacy course, i.e. MATH 1030 or higher; however, students transferring to a BSN or higher nursing program may need MATH 1040.
