Nursing, Associate in Pre-Nursing, DTA/MRP


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees and Certificates List

Overview


The Associate in Pre-Nursing Direct Transfer Agreement or Major Related Program (DTA/MRP) streamlines preparation for the basic BSN pathway by ensuring students complete prerequisite courses for pre-licensure BSN programs (programs that do not require a nursing license for admission) at participating colleges and universities. Due to high interest and limited space in BSN programs, admission to all BSN programs is highly competitive with many qualified applicants, including non-transfer and transfer students, often finding themselves on admission waiting lists. Therefore, students pursuing the Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP should be informed that their DTA associate degree is highly transferable to all public (and many private) baccalaureate collges and universities.

BSN admission application deadlines vary; students must meet the deadline for the university or universities to which they plan to apply for admission to transfer.

Certain schools may have additional “university-specific” requirements for admission to the institution, not pre-requisites specifically identified in the DTA requirements, which will need to be completed prior to graduation. Contact with advisors from individual schools for institutional requirements is highly recommended since this DTA may not meet every institution-specific graduation requirement.

Students who complete this degree may also choose to apply for entrance into the Nursing, Associate in Nursing, DTA/MRP  degree at Skagit Valley College.
