Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): Up to 6 credits
American Sentinel also takes your professional experience into
consideration – most of our students bring tremendous life experience
and knowledge to the classroom – knowledge that may have been
acquired both in and outside of the traditional classroom setting. We
consider the following sources of life experience and transfer credit:

• College credits
• Professional work and life experience

• Military training
• Credit by exam or test out

• Professional certifications and licenses
A maximum of 75 percent of a student’s completed BSN degree
requirements and 50 percent of Master’s degree requirements can be
earned through a combination of prior completed college course work
and life experience transfer credit.

The bottom line is that life experience and transfer credits can reduce
the total cost of your degree and the time needed to earn it.
An American Sentinel admissions advisor will work with you to evaluate
your transcripts and determine if past course work you have completed
can be transferred.
2. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS – All BSN degree students
must complete 30 credit hours of general education course work. The
exact courses you will be required to complete will be determined once
your transcripts have been evaluated. You can choose from a range of
courses in our general education categories:
3. PRE-REQUISITES: Our RN to BSN and RN to MSN students educated
outside of the United States must take ENG105 Beginning Writing as
their first course. This is the only pre-requisite. You may begin your
degree course work immediately and complete your general education
courses concurrently or even after your degree specific courses.
