Chicago State University Transfer Guide

This transfer guide is intended for students who wish to complete a pre-professional curriculum at a city college in order to receive the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. The guide is also applicable to students who complete the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Nursing, although such students should keep in mind that they will be required to complete general education requirements at CSU.
The guide shows the courses which should be selected from general education offerings to meet program requirements at Chicago State University, and is consistent with recommendations from the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI). This guide also recommends other transferable courses which can be used to meet program requirements.
All courses must be passed with a grade of C or better to be accepted as transfer credit in the College of Health Sciences.
Admissions into the Nursing program at Chicago State University occurs in January of each year. Applications for the Nursing program (separate from the University's application) are due to the College of Health Sciences by October 1 of each year. All transfer students must successfully complete Chicago State University qualifying examinations for English Composition, Reading, and Math no later than the summer before their admission to the Nursing program. Additionally, applicants to the Nursing program must complete a bridge course during the Fall semester before admission to the Nursing program. It is a mandatory criterion for graduation.

Effective fall 2008, students who have completed their associates degrees will be considered to have completed their general education requirments. The Nursing Program, however, may require further general education courses for students who wish to be admitted into the Nursing Program.
