Students admitted to the BSN program, with a previous non-nursing bachelor’s degree and associates of nursing may pursue this pathway by indicating so on their initial BSN application. Additional documentation is not required.
Transfer Admissions
Students may apply to Augsburg as a transfer student. Transfer students follow the same procedure as new applicants. Students may petition the Master of Arts in Nursing faculty for approval of transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those whose course content is comparable to course content in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. No more than nine (9) semester credits will be accepted for transfer credit.

Evaluations can be accepted from World Education Services, SpanTran Pathways – Augsburg University, Educational Credential Evaluators, or any NACES accredited organization. Learn more about NACES and find a list of accredited evaluators at NACES.org
