Cabrini offers the first two years of a baccalaureate nursing program and provides students with the prerequisites in nursing for transfer to nursing institutions.
Students in this program at Cabrini have the option to change their major and still earn a Cabrini degree in four years.
Students should consult the department concerning transfer requirements and procedures. There are articulation agreements with Neumann College and Thomas Jefferson University but no direct transfers.
Articulation Agreement
Specific questions regarding eligibility for admission (GPA requirements, minimum prerequisite grades, certificates, and other admission criteria) to bachelor of science in nursing (B.S.N.) programs covered under articulation agreements with Neumann College and Thomas Jefferson University should be directed to the pre-nursing advisor at Cabrini College. Course requirements are subject to change.
