Credit Transfers

[mlallen12]

Hello All,

I know this question has been asked MANY times but I'm hoping to start an up-to-date thread with the appropriate information.

I am completing my first year of MSN (leadership and management) classes at Western Governors University. I am seriously considering changing schools and applying to an FNP program.

I would like to know if any WGU students have applied to AND been accepted to any FNP programs. More importantly, if accepted, what school (s) were you accepted too, and did the WGU credits transfer? My biggest concern is that my credits will not transfer and I will have to take the classes over again.

Every thread I've read in relation to this same question leaves only vague answers. So please, if you have information on school acceptance and credit transfers, leave your information here i.e. the school(s) you have been accepted too and if they accepted your credit transfers/classes from WGU.

Thanks All!

P.S. I'm currently looking at Walden University...

Thank you for this post. Have you found any information since this post?

I am currently in the MSN for leadership and management at Walden. I absolutely love it. you do have to learn on your own basically but we have a discussion board every week and you have to reply to at least 4 people for maximum credit. and we have usually 1-2 papers in APA format to write weekly for each class. I do know that beyond the pre reqs at walden, they will not accept transfer credits for core classes in the leadership and management program. I know this is a burden but I'm not sure why they do that. I wish you the best! there are some good and bad reviews about walden out there. I have had nothing but positive things to say about the school :) Good Luck!

I am also interested to hear from people transferring credits from WGU. Even more so, has anyone specifically transferred to Walden University?
