Recommended that these courses are taken to maximize
transfer credit to BSN.
Only 30 hours of nursing credit will be accepted towards the BSN
program. This requires both the completion of the ASN as well
as an active RN license.
Any transferable course not counted toward General Education
or Nursing requirements may be taken. Please note, some
courses such as developmental, practicums, internships, clinical,
and vocational courses are not transferable.
Please Note: In order to transfer courses from CSM to
APUS, the student must earn a grade of “C” or better.
