Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) to PNW Articulation Agreement

A.D. in Nursing to Online RN-BSN Program

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 WTCS and the Online RN-to-BSN program at PNW.

To use this agreement students must apply and be admitted to PNW and to the Online RN-to-BSN program. WTCS students will receive equal consideration with other students seeking admission and financial aid. WTCS students are eligible for admission with junior standing once they:

  • have complete the associate degree in nursing.
  • been admitted to PNW.
  • have earned a course grade of “C-” or better on every course accepted for transfer; and
  • have achieved a 2.2 or greater cumulative GPA based on a 4-point scale.
