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.
