UVA offers two options into its BSN program for college students who wish to transfer in from community college, another school or university, or from within UVA:
Our transfer programs offer students who've already completed some college and wish to become nurses new pathways to our top-ranked BSN program. And though these transfer programs are faster, and cost less, they offer students the same world-class teaching, mentoring, and the rich clinical experiences UVA School of Nursing is known for.
