Schools that DO accept WGU credits/transfers

[dandk1997RN]

In an effort to make this process less time-consuming for those who come after me, I am starting this thread to consolidate the info I have found and will continue to find regarding what schools accept WGU degrees/credits/transfers.

-University of Texas, Arlington (according to a post by Kristy78 in 2011, for a DNP program.)

-George Washington University (I personally got an email from them. They said they do but of course it depends on the individual admission. They have NP programs.)

That's all I've got so far after several hours of research. I will update when I get any new info. Please feel free to add your school if you went to WGU and then continued at another school using your WGU degree.

I applied to an BSN-DNP program at Rush University, and was accepted. Rush requires applicants apply via NursingCAS, my WGU MSN classes were not included in my GPA, NursingCAS calculated them as pass or fail. The only GPA calculation I had was for my undergrad classes. Rush is allowing me to transfer 2 of the classes I completed at

Hi

Did you start your MSN at WGU and what credits do you need to complete FNP certificate. As I also completed BSN from WGU and looking forward to do FNP. Any suggestion would be appreciated as I am confused if my WGU credits can be accepted in another universities and WGU does not have nurse practitioner program.

I was accepted to the University of South Florida's Nursing PhD program after receiving my MSN at WGU. I was also encouraged to apply for my PhD with my WGU MSN degree by advisors at the University of Central Florida, George Washington, and Villanova, among with countless DNP programs.

I found that in terms of terminal degrees, the "whole package" is evaluated - goals, transcripts, GRE scores, resume, etc.

I competed my BSN with a 3.3 GPA and I have a MSN from WGU. I applied to Gonzaga's post master cert for FNP. They waive the MAT and/or GRE if you have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Well they received my transcripts..and they are requiring a MAT or GRE score. I have not taken either of these exams. They are currently stating that since WGU does not have a GPA, I have to take one of the standardized tests. I am pleading my case that I had to receive at least a 3.0 to pass all the courses. Frustrating.
