Note

This information is meant to serve as a general guide for students intending to major in Nursing at UNM. Specific requirements for transfer will vary from school to school. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the four year transfer school to confirm specific admission and degree requirements.

Students who finish the above course plan still have to take (BIO 2711 Pathophysiology II  at CNM or NURS 240 at UNM), and Pharmacology (NURS 238 at UNM) for the UNM program, and can take these while they wait to gain acceptance. Admission is competitive; students should have higher than a 3.0 GPA. Students are strongly recommended to meet with a UNM Nursing advisor to discuss their transfer plans. Contact information is available on the UNM Nursing program website.
