NYU's favorite schools for prereqs

Published

Hi everyone,

New user here. For many reasons, I'm considering making the move from professional musician to nursing. I'm currently researching universities with accelerated BSN programs for those who already hold Bachelor's degrees, and am very interested in NYU's program.

I have a Bachelor's and a Master's in Music (voice), and need to take all prerequisites as I did not take any science or math courses during my first two degrees. Obviously, NYU is SUPER expensive, and I'm hoping to find a place to take the prereqs that doesn't break the bank. My question is this: aside from entering NYU as a transfer student and taking all my prereqs there (which would be cost-prohibitive for us), what schools does NYU like to see on an accelerated BSN student's transcript? I'm considering the CUNY schools; are some better than others when it comes to their classes being accepted as transfer credit at NYU?

Any and all information or advice is welcome. Thanks!!

:)

NurseinNY, NYU is probably my dream school. Since you graduated from the program can you tell us how most people financed it?

NurseinNY, I'd love to hear about this too, as NYU is one of my top choices. and thanks for the advice about the externship!

Tutz926... I hear you on not wanting to waste any time. That's one of the factors that's a turn-off about Hunter's nursing school - I have no desire to take random Humanities and History classes when NYU will allow me to skip all that GenEd stuff. I mean, I already have a Bachelors AND a Masters degree... do I REALLY need a US History class? REALLY?
