Potential Career Paths
Students with a bachelor’s degree in Nursing will be eligible to pursue a wide variety of careers in the Healthcare industry.
Admissions Requirements
While there is no minimum GPA needed in order to apply, a 2.8 GPA or higher is recommended to be competitive for admission. This program is only open to students who hold an RN license and have successfully completed an associate's degree in Nursing at a regionally accredited community college. It is strongly recommended to meet with a Rutgers staff member to review required prerequisite courses.
Transferring Credits
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey will transfer a maximum of 60 credits or one-half of the total degree credits required for a baccalaureate degree from a NJ county college to a Rutgers degree program for those students who have completed an A.A. or A.S. degree. Additionally, nursing students will also receive an additional 33 credits for passing their NCLEX meaning that students who pursue our RN to BSN program will receive a total of approximately 93 transfer credits.
Ready to Apply
We strongly encourage that students meet with one of our advisors prior to transferring to ensure their eligibility. Students who are ready to transfer to one of our 11 undergraduate programs should fill out the Rutgers Undergraduate Application. When filling out the application, students should indicate that they have earned about 60-119 credits. Moreover, students must also be sure to select on the application that they have earned their nursing license. Otherwise, students may not be able to see our programs as a selectable choice.
