General Education courses may be taken while enrolled in the RN to BSN program, but must be completed before graduation.

SACN will accept Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) Degrees to satisfy the general education core requirements for the program! Applicants still need to complete the SACN nursing prerequisites: Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition, Statistics, and Developmental (Lifespan) Psychology. Please Note: Associate of Applied Science degrees will not satisfy SACN general education requirements.

No grade below a "C" may be transferred.

Once you have supplied all of the needed documentation, it will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled Undergraduate Admission and Progression Committee meeting.
