BSN Transfer Options
UVA now offers two options into its BSN program for college students who wish to transfer in from community college, another school or university, or from within UVA:
Our transfer programs offer students who've already completed some college and wish to become nurses new pathways to our top-ranked BSN program. And though these transfer programs are faster, and cost less, they offer students the same world-class teaching, mentoring, and the rich clinical experiences UVA School of Nursing is known for.
