Military Credit
The Undergraduate Studies Committee and/or representatives of the College of Nursing will review all military education, training and service of applicants to the baccalaureate program. Credit will be awarded to the applicant for any military education or skills training that is substantially similar to the curriculum.
Nursing Transfer Credit
Review of previously completed nursing coursework will occur only after a transfer applicant has been offered admission to the BSN program. Nursing transfer credit will only be evaluated after an offer of admission has been made.
The evaluation process is outlined below so you may begin preparing the required materials in advance:
- Transfer applicants will be contacted by the College of Nursing via email after they have been notified of their offer of admission. This email will contain instructions on how to submit their specific nursing coursework documentation and will be sent to the email address the student included on their BSN application.
- Admitted BSN transfer applicants will be required to provide a course syllabus for each nursing-specific course they are requesting to have transferred.
- A syllabus is a document that outlines the expectations for the course, along with the topics that will be taught, grading scale, and expected outcomes from the course. Please reach out to the Registrar of the university you attended to request a copy of course syllabi.
- Only nursing courses completed at the bachelor’s level with a C+ or greater can be considered for transfer into the BSN program.
- Applicants will have until July 1 to submit this documentation. We recommend collecting all course syllabi in advance.
- Failure to submit the required documentation or meet the deadlines associated with the nursing coursework evaluation process means that any previously completed nursing coursework cannot be considered for transfer. The student will retain their offer of admission and be required to complete all nursing-specific courses to earn a BSN degree from Ohio State.
- Non-nursing specific coursework can still be considered for transfer to meet university and General Education requirements through the university level transfer process.
- By mid-July, the results of the nursing coursework transfer credit evaluation will be shared with BSN transfer students via email. These results will be sent to the email address the student included on their BSN application.
- Once the results of the nursing coursework evaluation have been shared, BSN transfer students will have 1 week to accept the offer of admission.
