Degrees and Certificates
Associate in Pre-Nursing-Direct Transfer Agreement
The Pre-Nursing Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Ready Pathway (DTA/MRP) associate degree is intended for students looking to directly transfer to Washington state universities to complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Students enrolled in this 90-credit degree program receive instruction in English, psychology, mathematics, and science to prepare them to enter select Washington state four-year pre-licensure Nursing programs as a junior.
Upon completion of WVC’s Associate in Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP degree, students are eligible to transfer to several Washington state institutions including the University of Washington, Washington State University, Pacific Lutheran University, Seattle Pacific University, Seattle University, and Walla Walla University. Completing this degree does not guarantee admission to any baccalaureate university. Students should meet with a navigator at the college to which they intend to transfer.
Please note that this degree alone will not make the WVC graduate eligible to sit for the Registered Nurse National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Graduates will need to complete their BSN degree at a university before they can become a registered nurse.
Program Learning Outcome
Demonstrate knowledge, skills, and abilities in preparation to transfer to a four-year university in nursing.
