Transfer Credits

To apply a course from another institution towards your curriculum requirements, you must submit a petition. Transfer courses cannot exceed 40% of your official program coursework, equivalent to 21 credits for the MN program. Courses will be considered if they comply with Minnesota Board of Nursing regulations and fulfill MN program requirements.

A course qualifies as a transfer course if:

• It was taken at another institution.

• It was taken for another graduate degree at the University of Minnesota, but not within the School of Nursing (e.g., School of Public Health).

• It was taken before admission to the MN program and is noted on your transcript as non-degree.

• It is a program course that has been petitioned and approved based on equivalent work/life experience.
