The prerequisite courses above will satisfy some of the general education requirements. Additional courses may be required. 62 semester credits minimum (93 quarter credits) are required for entry into the nursing program.
Transfer credit will be evaluated for all admitted students prior to orientation. The evaluation will include courses that satisfy Linfield Curriculum requirements. Transfer credit will be considered for courses completed at regionally accredited two- and four-year colleges and universities only. A letter grade of ‘C’ or higher is required for transfer.
