TENNESSEE TRANSFER PATHWAYS FOR TBR COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO UT AND TBR FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITIES
Because of the varying entry points for acceptance/entrance into baccalaureate nursing programs and the different structures of nursing curricula, community college students who wish to transfer to university programs are advised to follow a freshman-year curriculum, as prescribed below, applicable to all university nursing majors.* By completing this one-year plan of studies and then transferring before the sophomore year to a university, community college students will be on par with prospective nursing students who began the freshman year at a public university in Tennessee. Community-college students who pursue this plan will then be eligible at the earliest opportunity to compete for acceptance to a four-year nursing program leading to the award of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
Please note that the completion of the pre-nursing community-college curriculum and the subsequent courses taken at a university do not guarantee acceptance into a baccalaureate nursing program. Nursing is a highly competitive major, and only the most highly qualified students are admitted.** The specific requirements for admission to university nursing programs may be found in the catalogs of the various universities.
NOTE: THERE ARE TO BE NO COURSE SUBSTITUTIONS IN THIS PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS.

*The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, does not accept transfer students. Nursing students are admitted in the freshman year at UTK.
**Community college students may also pursue various RN to BSN programs as a means of attaining the BSN degree. These programs assume the completion of the Associate of Applied Science degree with a major in nursing, licensure as a Registered Nurse, and fulfillment of other criteria. Information concerning these programs is available in university catalogs.
***Students who plan to attend the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, and the University of Tennessee, Martin, are strongly encouraged to complete BIOL 2230 [Microbiology] and CHEM 1110 [General Chemistry I] before transferring to these institutions. |
