University of AZ Navy Medical Enlisting Commissioning Program

Published

I am currently an active duty Marine with less than 2 years on my contract. I know i want to be a nurse and I want to do it through the Navy MECP. My questions are:

1. Does UA distinguish between online classes and campus when transferring credits?

2.Would it be difficult for me to get into the program if I transfer in with 30+ credits?

3. Is it a better idea to get out and then just attend as a freshmen and make my way into the program?

I am in a very difficult position and I'm just trying to make the best out of it. I'm very worried that if I transfer my credits in that they will look down on the online classes and also not get the acceptance letter into the program i need in order to be accepted for the Navy MECP.

Thanks for everything!!

I'm a Navy Nurse and help with the MECP program on my ship. I cant answer specific questions about UofA (I'd call their nursing dept or Registrar's Office), but if you can get accepted into MECP, remember: You must have 30 credits prior to applying, and it is highly recommended those 30 credits be your pre-reqs (Anatomy, Physiology, Stats, Micro, Nutrition, etc) AND they will take from your GI Bill during your time in school. You can PM me for more info
