Lincoln Memorial University will evaluate, for potential transfer, credit awarded by other institutions accredited by associations (regional or national) recognized by the Council of Higher Education Accreditation and/or the U.S. Department of Education. Lincoln Memorial University must evaluate all potential transfer credit and determine if such credit is equivalent in terms of academic level, content, quality, comparability of student learning outcomes, and degree program relevance to coursework offered through the University’s curriculum.
The Nursing (ASN) and Nursing (BSN) programs at LMU require completion of general education/collateral courses as well as nursing courses. Undergraduate students attending the Tampa, Florida Off-Campus Site will be required to transfer the general education and collateral course components into LMU prior to admission to the nursing program. Students will submit transcripts for general education/collateral courses to LMU for review. Upon successful transfer and meeting all admissions criteria, the student will be considered for admission to the LMU Nursing (ASN) or Nursing (BSN) program. Transfer courses to be applied toward the Florida General Education State Core will be evaluated for equivalency, and credit will be given for courses in one of two categories: 1) those courses falling under the Florida rule regarding general education, and 2) those courses not falling under the Florida rule, but meeting LMU’s general education requirements. (See sections on Transfer Credits from Another Institution and Florida General Education State Core for further information.)
