Associate in Pre-Nursing, DTA/MRP

The Associate in Pre-Nursing is a state-recognized Direct Transfer Agreement / Major Related Program (DTA/MRP) designed for students planning to transfer to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. 

Admission to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs is highly competitive. Completion of the Associate in Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP degree does not guarantee acceptance. Students are strongly encouraged to connect with their intended transfer institutions early in their academic journey to understand specific admission requirements. These may include prerequisite coursework, minimum overall GPA, GPA thresholds for selected course categories, and minimum grade expectations for individual courses.

Students are strongly encouraged to meet early with their TCC advisor to confirm that their course selections meet all graduation and admission requirements.  Some courses are offered only once or twice a year and/or are sequential, so timely program completion depends on careful quarterly class selection.  Whenever possible, students should complete math and science course sequences at a single institution and avoid interrupting these sequences between schools.

Students completing this track are not eligible to take National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Registered Nursing (RN) until they complete their BSN program. Students seeking a direct pathway to RN licensure through TCC should explore the program.
