Completion of the Central Arizona College - ASU RN-BSN Pathway Program and the special requirements satisfies the requirements for Central Arizona College Associate of Applied Science degree, satisfies lower division RN to BSN major requirements, and upon receipt of all application materials, guarantees admission to the ASU RN to BSN program.

Special Requirements:
A grade of "C" or better in each course and a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA in the following courses is required for guaranteed admission: ENG 101, ENG 102, BIO 201, BIO 202, BIO 205, CHM 130 with lab and PSY 101 . In addition, students must complete the courses that meet the listed general studies requirements with a grade of "C" or better.  These courses are not included in the 2.5 cumulative GPA computation.  All remaining courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

Upon Transfer to ASU: Students must have a current RN license in good standing before taking the courses in the RN-BSN program (TWC/NUR).  While waiting for NCLEX-RN test results, students may opt to take Upper Division/ General Studies courses, if needed. 

All additional ASU General Studies requirements can be completed while enrolled in the RN-BSN program.  All other requirements are selected by the student and must be completed prior to graduation from ASU.

The pathway requirements allow 75 maximum transferable credit hours; the excess hours will not transfer. ASU will accept up to 90 transfer credit hours for traditional course work you have successfully completed at regionally accredited institutions of higher education. The applicability of the specific course toward a degree depends on the requirements of the department, division, college or school in which you are enrolled at ASU. Students are responsible for working with their advisor to confirm all transfer transcripts are on file with ASU.
