Transfer Credit
Students requesting to transfer graduate course credit from other accredited institutions to Franciscan University’s Master of Science in Nursing Program may be permitted to do so, provided grades are at least a "B" in each course, and the course is not more than ten (10) years old. These credits will not be accepted in lieu of nursing courses required for the Specialization Core Curriculum. Courses considered for transfer to the MSN Program will be determined by the FNP Coordinator in consultation with the graduate nursing faculty and the Director of Academic Advising and Academic Operations. Only courses taken before entry into the Master's program will be considered for transfer. Requests for transfer of credit must be submitted to the FNP Coordinator no later than the end of the first semester of studies at Franciscan. At the discretion of the FNP Coordinator, or an individual instructor, course descriptions, syllabi, or graded assignments from such course work may also be requested.
Note: Because of the scheduling of MSN courses, the transfer of credits into the MSN program should not be expected to shorten the length of time to complete program requirements.
