CCSNH Partnerships
If you’re a NH Community College Graduate with an Associate Degree in Nursing, our CCSNH Nursing Partnership will maximize the credits you already earned through your associate program at a regionally accredited college or university and position you to start your bachelor’s degree with your general education requirements waived. Additional tuition savings is available. Visit CCSNH Nursing Partnership to learn more.

Completion of the RN to BSN program requires a total of 120 credits including any transfer credits for which the applicant may be eligible. A minimum of 30 credits must be earned at Granite State College. Applicants with additional prior college credits should submit all transcripts of previous college coursework to be evaluated for applicability for the BSN requirements, since a total of up to 90 credits can be transferred to meet program requirements. Applicants with a prior bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree will be waived from General Education courses (24 credits) and are required to meet Nursing requirements only (30 credits) and MATH 504 Statistics. Statistics is a prerequisite for NUR 602 Evidence-Based Nursing, as well as proof of conferred A.S. in Nursing degree. Academic Advisor approval is required for registration to be processed.

Conditionally admitted students who have not yet submitted proof of a conferred associate degree or diploma in nursing and passed the NCLEX-RN® may only take non-NUR courses and NUR 600 and may not proceed with other NUR courses until they have an active RN license.

Upper level Nursing courses from other institutions may be eligible in transfer to the BSNrequirements but are subject to expiration within 5 years of completion.
