What is the Transfer Students Pathway?

Students applying to McDaniel College as a transfer student may also apply for admission directly to our B.S.N. program. Transfer students will be required to meet all program prerequisites prior to direct admission. These students will be reviewed for admission to the college as well as for an invitation to interview for the nursing program itself.

Students from other colleges or universities are eligible to apply to transfer to our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) program.
