The College generally grants up to two full years toward a four year degree program, with no additional requirements so that students attending full time should be able to graduate in a total of four years. Block credit will be evaluated using the following criteria: The transferring program must be accredited by the national body responsible for accreditation in that particular discipline. The Program Chair for the baccalaureate degree program will evaluate the curriculum based on the accreditation essentials for the discipline and recommend to the Office of Student Records and Information Management the amount of credit to be granted in the block. The Office of Student Records and Information Management will review the recommendation and award the credit deemed appropriate but not to exceed the following: Medical Imaging: 69 credit hours. Interdisciplinary Health Studies: 69 credit hours. Bachelor of Science in Nursing: 72 credit hours. Block transfer credit is validated by evidence of professional certification of the applicant at the time of application or successful completion of the appropriate national certification or state licensure prior to admission. In cases where the program from which the credit is earned is less than an associate degree, specific baccalaureate programs in the College may require additional coursework. Courses taken outside the scope of the program curriculum will be considered on a course-by-course basis.
