A maximum of 63 units can be transferred from a regionally accredited institution toward a Charles R. Drew University’s bachelor degree. The maximum transfer credit acceptable for the associate degree is up to 50% of the total units required for the program. A maximum of 12 units can be transferred toward the Master of Science degree in Nursing, and a maximum of 6 units can be transferred to the Master of Public Health degree in Urban Health Disparities or the Master of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree completion program has a 36-credit required course of study in-residence (32 credits of Nursing courses and 4- credits of General Education Courses). The required course of study includes a capstone course that synthesizes baccalaureate student learning outcomes. The required course of study fulfills only part of the 120- minimum-credit requirement for Bachelor of Science degree completion. Students could transfer up to 84 credits of previous, relevant course work.
