Speaking with a member of the School of Nursing Admissions team is the first step in the School-to-School transfer process.

It is advised that students interested in the School of Nursing should attend an informational session to learn more about the admissions process, requirements of the program, and get a better understanding of the programs available (ex. 4-year traditional program versus accelerated second-degree program)
You can find out more and sign up for a session by visiting the Information Session page.

After speaking with Admissions students will need to decide which program will be a better fit for their ultimate goals. There are two paths available:
School-to-School Transfer
A transfer into the 4-year traditional program is available for the fall semester(s) with limited spaces available. Students can apply to either the Newark or New Brunswick campus but may be accepted to the program that has space available.
Students who are accepted into the 4-year program will enter the current curriculum as rising Sophomores and will need to ensure they have completed the necessary prerequisites prior to entering their Clinical year as a Nursing Junior.
Program completion will take an additional 3 years so this option is best suited for current Freshmen or Sophomores.
Second Degree Program
Students who are close to completing their current Bachelor’s program (Juniors and Seniors) may benefit from applying to the accelerated Second-Degree program.
This option allows students to complete their current degree on time and upon completion begin a 14 month (4 semesters) Nursing intensive program.
For more information view the Second-Degree program page.
Students who decide to take this path may benefit from completing the necessary admissions prerequisite courses instead of applying for a School to School transfer.
-
Students who have decided to continue with a School-to-School transfer can use the following self-audit documents to determine what classes they have already completed or will need to take.
Please note that the completion of these courses does not guarantee admission into the School of Nursing. This is meant as a planning tool only to be used by the prospective student and their current advisor or program director.
