For Transfer Students

Admission to the B.S.N. Program is highly competitive. Transcripts will be carefully reviewed to determine the equivalency of courses from other colleges and universities to those of WMU and Bronson School of Nursing as applications are reviewed. The sequence of courses will be individualized depending on a student's academic equivalencies (courses already taken) and remaining course requirements.

  1. Apply to WMU and declare "pre-nursing" as intended major
  2. Request that "official transcripts" from any and all post-high school education institutions attended be sent to the WMU Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
  3. Request an appointment with an academic advisor by contacting patricia.knight@wmich.edu or (269) 387-2656. Consult with the academic advisor as to equivalencies of prior coursework.
