Nursing Transfers

Transfer and Thrive

Are you currently enrolled in a nursing program at a regionally accredited college or university and looking to transfer? Then consider transferring to Michigan Tech's BSN program. Our transfer process keeps you on your path to a nursing career.

Michigan Tech's accredited nursing program offers benefits you will find nowhere else in the Upper Peninsula.

Small class sizes: Most of your classes will have less than 16 students so your instructors will get to know you.
Hands-on experience: You'll complete over 1,000 clinical hours throughout the program.
Latest technology: Practice on our HAL Simulator and Anatomage tables when you're not in clinical.

Transfer Requirements

To be considered for the nursing major, students must have:

Met the general requirements for admission to Michigan Tech University.
Achieved a cumulative pre-nursing grade point average of 2.85 or better.
Submitted an application to the MTU Nursing Program for the following fall
semester. Applications are available from the nursing office (nursing@mtu.edu) starting
February 1st of each year.
Satisfactorily completed, or have reasonable expectations of completing all pre-nursing courses (or their equivalency) prior to admission into the Nursing Major. A minimum grade of "C" is required in all pre-nursing courses.

Admitted students are required to comply with, and provide documentation of, all Health Compliance expectation including, but not limited to: physical examination, verification of immunizations, TB testing, criminal background check and drug screen, and CPR certification. Students must not have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor that will prevent them from becoming licensed as a registered nurse or from participating in a required clinical rotation.

Hands-On Learning

If you are a hands-on learner, this is your place. At Michigan Tech, you'll complete over 1,000 clinical hours throughout the program. And while Tech has the latest technology available for you to practice on with our HAL Simulations and Anatomage table, your most meaningful learning comes from hands-on actual patient care—not hands-on simulation mannequin practice care. Clinicals allow you to put what you have learned into practice. As you go through the program, clinical rotations increase in complexity and expose you to a variety of settings. These supervised direct practical experiences help you to develop into a professional, competent, and caring nurse.
