TESU ABSN Program

[dfrecore]

So it's going to be the same as transferring into another program, and Sophia & Study.com has a list of what transfers in as what.  Unfortunately, TESU doesn't seem to take SDC's A&P I & II w/Lab courses which is a big bummer; so take those at Straighterline, TESU accepts both.

Take Intro to Psych & Developmental Psych if you haven't already.

Not sure if Gen Chem is required or not, so you need to find out; unfortunately, neither SDC nor SL's Chem courses (even with labs) comes in as CHEM-111 (they both come in as CHEM-101), but I'd ask about that specifically.

I'd also ask about Microbiology, SDC and SL both have that, and both come in as BIO-251, but SDC doesn't have a lab, and SL's lab is questionable.   SDC also has BIO 107L: Clinical Microbiology w/Lab, but it doesn't look like TESU takes it.   TESU doesn't have the standalone lab.  So you may have to take it at Portage Learning ($223/cr) or a CC if you can find one.

Other than that, I think you can just follow the regular path for the GE coursework.

I’d ask a lot of questions, because the FAQ says. “The credit by examination option is not available for the following prerequisite courses:

• Anatomy & Physiology I with Lab
  
  
• Anatomy & Physiology II with Lab
  
  
• Chemistry
  
  
• Microbiology with Lab
  
  
• Statistics
  

These must be taken as classes and have grades from regionally accredited institutions.” (Emphasis added)

I did not look closely at that page.

So, if they want RA graded credit for these, then your best bet is either:
a) an inexpensive CC in your state (although they will have pre-reqs that you may not have met, and the sequence may not be done before next fall)
b) Dine' College (although they will have pre-reqs that you may not have met, and the sequence looks like it will not be done before next fall)
c) Portage Learning transcripted through Geneva College - but I've heard that TESU won't take these (one person on the forum said this, but it's unclear, and I would question TESU about it if you wanted to go this way)
d) another RA school that will allow you to take these courses as self-paced, such as UNE, Doane, etc.
