DTA Associate: 90 credits
Enrollment Point: Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer Quarter
This program is for students who want to transfer to a participating Washington State four-year college or university. The Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP meets all requirements of Washington’s Direct Transfer Agreement, between the baccalaureate institutions offering a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) and the community and technical college system. The program consists of 90 college-level credits. At least 60 of these credits are general education in areas like communication, mathematics, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. When you finish your Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP, if you are admitted to a four-year degree program, you will have junior standing. You will have met all prerequisites for the BSN degree except as noted by specific universities. You also will meet the prerequisites for other bachelor degrees - nursing is not your only possible destination!
Due to high interest and limited space in baccalaureate nursing programs, admission to all BSN programs is highly competitive with many qualified applicants finding themselves on waiting lists for admission.
Students should contact their potential transfer institutions early regarding the following:
- Specific course choices in each area of the agreement where options are listed.
- The requirement for overall GPA, a higher GPA in a selected subset of courses or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses, such as math or English.
