5. Graduate coursework can only substitute for upper level BSN elective coursework in table below.
6. All other course pre-requisites and conditions apply.

The student may apply up to six credit-hours of graduate-level credit to satisfy the requirements for both degrees only when the grade received is a B or better. Graduate coursework earning a C can only be applied toward bachelor’s degree requirements. Graduate coursework at a C or lower will need to be repeated and a B or better must be earned for graduate program credit to be awarded. Completion of graduate coursework does not imply acceptance into a graduate program, all other program admission requirements apply. Graduate coursework taken by undergraduate students must be utilized to meet program specific requirements for the undergraduate degrees associated with BSN degree.

Undergraduate students taking graduate courses will be charged the undergraduate tuition rate.
