Description

The Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) with a focus in nursing allows students to transfer with junior standing to all Oregon public universities and some private universities. For students planning to apply to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, an additional benefit of the AAOT is the potential admission points awarded to those with a degree, thus making an application more competitive. However, the majority of BSN programs have prerequisite coursework that exceeds the AAOT's requirements. It is important for students to identify their potential transfer institutions as early as possible so that their course plan can most accurately reflect the transfer institution's requirements.

Entrance Requirements

While this program has no formal entrance requirements, individual courses may have prerequisites which must be met before enrollment.

Course Requirements

¹

HHPA activity courses (1 credit each) are not to be duplicated.

²

Students should take two terms of the same world language. Students who completed two years of the same world language in high school with a “C” or better, may choose 8 elective credits numbered 100+ instead of world language

Advising Notes

Oregon has eleven baccalaureate degree programs, with five of those being campuses affiliated with Oregon Health & Science University. The Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) maintains an approved educational program list with four broad categories: practical nursing programs, registered nurse associate degree programs, registered nurse baccalaureate degree programs, and graduate programs. Students should use the OSBN approved program list when researching Oregon Bachelor of Science in Nursing options.
