Pre-Nursing Academic Associate - Major Related Programs

Full Credential Title

Associate in Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP

Catalog Description

This TCC degree is designed for students who intend to transfer to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program (BSN) at a baccalaureate institution (four-year college and university). Students completing the pre-nursing degree, and who have met the minimum GPA requirement for the BSN program to which they are applying, will have met the prerequisites necessary to apply to most upper-division nursing programs in Washington. Admittance to BSN programs is highly competitive. Completion of the pre-nursing associate degree does not guarantee admission. Students completing this track are not eligible to take National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Registered Nursing until they complete their BSN program. Students wishing to become a registered nurse at TCC should talk with an advisor about an Associate in Nursing DTA/MRP. Students pursuing the pre-nursing transfer degree are strongly advised to contact the potential transfer institutions early regarding the specific course choices in each area of the degree. In addition, students should check with the potential transfer institutions about minimum GPA requirements, possible higher minimum GPA requirements in selected subsets of courses, and minimum grade requirements in specific courses. PREPARATION While in high school, students should complete all available courses in mathematics, chemistry and biology. PROGRAM PLANNING Students should meet with advisors as soon as they are admitted to Tacoma Community College. Prerequisites for many courses are offered only once or twice a year and/or are sequential, so timely program completion depends on careful quarterly class selection. Certain colleges and universities have additional admission requirements. For example, some universities require two years of high school foreign language or two or three quarters of college foreign language, additional college-level math, practical experience in a healthcare setting, or specific additional courses. It is important to consult catalogs, websites and fouryear college advisors early in the process.
