Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

After successfully completing 90 credits including the Biology Core, the courses in this emphasis, and fulfilling all of The Peacock Professional Experience (“general education”) requirements, a student may matriculate at Allen College into the Accelerated BSN program and transfer 30 credits from their first year back to UIU to reach 120 credits and graduate from UIU or complete the last 30 credits (including BIO 496) to reach 120 at UIU. In either case, the student will receive a B.S. degree with a major in Biology from UIU. Credit transferred from Allen College replaces BIO 496 in the core for 3+1 students, but BIO 496 must be taken at UIU if the student completes the entire major at UIU.

Note: In order to matriculate into the Accelerated BSN at Allen College, the student must have CNA certification.

Please work with your academic advisor to ensure this requirement is met.
