Program Description

All MNU students must complete general education courses however, completing an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree or the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree at JCCC will satisfy all the general education requirements at MNU, except the Faith Integration requirement. JCCC students transferring to MNU without completing the A.A. or A.S. will have transfer courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Therefore, it is recommended that students complete either the AA or the AS before transferring. The JCCC A.A. degree and the JCCC A.S. degree each require completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses. 

MNU offers three distinct pathways to earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree:

Traditional BSN (TBSN), Hybrid (HBSN), and Accelerated BSN (ABSN)

Admission Requirements

  • Students who wish to transfer must apply to MNU.
  • Please note: MidAmerica Nazarene University is not participating in the Kansas (KBOR) Systemwide General Education framework.
  • Certain majors may require specific classes in the general education core. Students should check the major’s specific section of the current MNU catalog for requirements or contact the Admissions Office for assistance in obtaining a preliminary evaluation of their credits or connecting with faculty.
  • Upper-division credit will NOT be given for lower division courses that are transferred in as equivalents to upper division courses.
  • Courses from the Learning Center, Academic Achievement Center, and Learning Strategies will not transfer to MNU. These courses are considered remedial or developmental. With special approval from the Academic Success Center at MNU, required developmental courses at MNU could be waived with satisfactory completion of courses from these areas. No college credit will be granted for these courses.

Content-Specific Courses: The courses listed below are the known equivalents between JCCC and MNU. Additional JCCC courses may meet MNU major requirements. Please email the Admissions Office to request a preliminary evaluation.
