Saint Anthony College of Nursing (SACN) encourages all high school applicants to contact SACN with questions about transferring.
SACN will accept Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) Degrees to satisfy the general education core requirements for the program! Applicants still need to complete the SACN nursing prerequisites: Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition, Statistics, and Developmental (Lifespan) Psychology. Please Note: Associate of Applied Science degrees will not satisfy SACN general education requirements
Transfer guides are available to use when registering for courses at many local colleges. If a transfer guide is unavailable for your college, refer to the list of prerequisites or ask the SACN Admissions Office for assistance.
If applying with college credits, transcripts may be submitted and a transfer evaluation will be completed by the admissions staff to assist students in planning their course schedule. Because SACN is an upper division program, all students transfer into the college after completing at least 64 credits.
Please make sure the course work you take at other colleges and universities meets the requirements for admission to SACN.
No grade below a "C" may be transferred.
To be eligible for acceptance by the admission committee, updated transcripts must be sent after any additional coursework is completed.
The President's Scholarship is a tuition waiver of $500 per semester, renewable contingent on availability of funds and maintaining a minimum 2.50 GPA. Awardees are therefore eligible to receive up to $2,000 total off of their tuition during their time at SACN.
Early Entry applicants must complete the application process and be accepted before the end of their first semester of college.
Students are granted acceptance, pending completion of the prerequisite courses.
