OPTION E: TRANSFER AND CHALLENGE
The Nursing Program offers applicants who have completed nursing program courses in another associate degree, baccalaureate degree, or military program the opportunity to prepare for professional nursing through the pursuit of specific knowledge and skills. Eligible candidates will receive advanced placement into the Cerritos nursing program based on prior learning and course work. Transferring students must meet all admission criteria to be eligible to enter the Cerritos College nursing program. There are additional classes you will need to take to be eligible for admission.
Transfer students are not admitted into the first course nor the fourth semester of the program. If you are seeking admission into the beginning of the program you will need to apply as an "Option A".
