  • While working with Clemson’s Transcript Equivalency Listing (TCEL) ,  you may find that courses you have previously taken are not listed.  In these cases you would obtain course syllabi from your previous institution(s) and forward them to the proper department on campus using this advising list. If the department approves your course, please send a copy of the syllabus as well as their email confirming that the course can be used to meet the prerequisite to rnbs@clemson.edu .
    
    
• IF YOU ARE A FORMER CLEMSON STUDENT DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO ADMISSIONS, simply send the above information related to your prerequisite review to rnbs@clemson.edu. If accepted, former Clemson students will be notified to follow further instructions.

Students come to campus one day for a required Orientation prior to beginning classes.

Students receive 31 semester hours of credit upon successful completion of Nursing 4060, Issues in Professionalism. The course validates your nursing knowledge from your associate degree program.

Students then complete 32 semester hours of Clemson University coursework following the RNBS Program curriculum.
