This articulation agreement provides a smooth curriculum transition with minimal loss of credit and duplication of coursework to facilitate the completion of the A.D. in Nursing at NTC and the Online RN-to-BSN program at PNW.

  • Courses that are listed by title are part of the student’s curriculum based on the 2019-2020 NTC 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.
