- Courses specified by title at partnering college have already been articulated as acceptable transfer to PNW to meet requirements. Courses may transfer into PNW as undistributed credit (UND or XXX) — these courses are accepted toward program requirements.
- Courses that are listed by title are part of the student’s curriculum based on the 2018-2019 Ivy Tech Community College Catalog.
- Students can also look up course transfer credit equivalencies
- Nursing credit taken beyond the required 30 credits can be applied to Free Electives if needed.
- Indiana State Board of Nursing Requirement 848IAC 1-2-17 states Math and/or Sciences may be integrated into nursing courses – therefore lower division nursing credit, when applicable, may be applied to the 17 credit hours of Math/Science/Pharmacology Requirement.
