Pre requisites for BSN

Published

I am planning on attending college in the fall of 05 and was wondering about the pre requisite classes I had to take. At the University I want to attend, I have to take 18 pre requisite classes totaling 59 credits. I was wondering how do I go about this, I'm kind of confused. Do I go to college to take these classes and then register for school for my BSN or what?

Hi

I am in an accelerated BSN program and has to take about 26 preq. credits before I could apply for the program. The BSN program is from a private university and its per credit costs are very high. So I was able to go to a local community college for the preq., where the per credit costs were much lower. The university accepted them with no problems.

Make sure though that you discuss the courses you plan to take at the community college with the admissions person at the nursing school to make sure you are taking the right level course. I had to take a higher level statistics and chemistry than what I thought was acceptable.

Each university has different rules...If I am correct, colleges usually take about 60 credit hours as transferred classes. However, from what I've found, you have to have a certain amount of classes in the university in which you are transferring.

Be sure to discuss your options with your academic advisor.

Good luck to you!! :)
