Will the credits I earn at St. Joseph School of Nursing count toward a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree in nursing someplace else?
The decision to allow the transfer of credits rests with the accepting institution. It is always wise to check with their admissions office in advance.
- St. Joseph School of Nursing is accredited by ACCSC, and the nursing program is accredited by ACEN. These accreditations help support the transfer of credits.
- Frequently credits are accepted between accredited institutions as long as the course is equivalent.
- For example, if you have taken a 3-credit English course and the accepting institution requires a 4-credit English course, it might not be transferable.
Does St. Joseph School of Nursing have affiliation agreements with any schools that would make continuing my education easier after I graduate from St. Joseph School of Nursing?
Yes, St. Joseph School of Nursing has affiliation agreements with the following schools:
- Southern NH University
- Rivier University
- Franklin Pierce University
