    UT has a good reputation. What is up with the credits not transfering? Do you mean you think UT credits don't transfer in general or your credits don't transfer?
    Every school I look into will not take my chemistry credit, this is probably because I was a CSE major when I took a general chemistry class and toledo accepts it, but no one else will. Same with my biology credit, I took a biodiversity class (the one nurses take) and it will not transfer to any of the schools in Northwest OH that I have looked into. Just things like that, it's quite frustrating because that means that by transferring to another 4 year program, I will still have 3 and a half years of school to add on to my career as a student.

    However, as I posted just a little while ago I am going to apply to the community college near me, a sister school of toledo, that will thankfully take my A&P I and II grades (both As) and biology!
  2. So, it isn't that they won't accept UT credits? - it is that the particular classes doen't satisfy the nursing prereq at the new school?

    That is what it looks like, chem 1230 goes into much great depth over what it covers but it doesn't cover solutions, acid-base, or energy relationships. The science major track has those covered by chem 1240. But nursing needs those topic coverd, if not is as much depth.

    If I were you, I'd consider taking the 1240 (or its equivelnt at your new school) and have more options later. Check that that works at your new school for nursing, but it should.

    I ran into something similar. My credits were from a school that used quarters instead of semesters. So if I took three quarters of something (English, for example) or 5 credits where the new school needs 3, then I was okay. Otherwise, it didn't work. It is frustrating.

    Hm, I see why nursing schools won't take the biodiversity credit, they want body systems, cellular biology, genetics much more than ecosystems. It would probably work for a gen ed nat sci, but so does A/P so it doesn't really help you any. Bummer.
