Transfer Credit for the D.N.P. Program

Courses submitted for transfer credit are evaluated individually relative to program requirements and the student’s plan of study. For each program, students may transfer up to 6 doctoral-level credits from another institution. These courses must be reviewed and approved by the Doctoral Program Director for Advanced Nursing Practice and DNP Programs.

  • The course must be duplicative of courses required within the program.
  • The course must not have been used toward meeting the requirements for another degree.
  • The student must have received graduate credit for the course at an accredited institution.
  • The student must have earned a grade of “B” or above.
  • A student requesting transfer of credit should submit the request and a copy of the course syllabus to the Associate Dean for Advanced Nursing Practice and DNP Programs. All transfers of credit must be approved by the Doctoral Program Director for Advanced Nursing Practice and DNP Programs.
