Overview
This transfer degree is intended to prepare students for licensure as a registered nurse, as well as for entry into a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) completion degree. Although this Associates degree will be granted to SVC nursing students with a cumulative 3.0 GPA, entry into a BSN program may require a higher GPA for admission. Minimum GPA requirements are established by each receiving institution. Meeting SVC’s minimum GPA requirements does not guarantee admission into a BSN program. Students should contact potential receiving institutions directly regarding their specific GPA requirements.
Note: SVC has not determined that the Nursing curriculum meets educational requirements for licensure/certification outside of Washington State. Students who plan to work in locations outside of Washington should check local state licensure and certification requirements.
