The University of Iowa requires a total of 128 credits to graduate with a BSN degree. Since we do not accept career and technical credit from community colleges, which is what “PNN” and “ADN” courses are, students will be awarded a bulk 32 credits for transferring in with their RN. Therefore, students will more than likely need to take additional elective credits to get to the 128 total credits needed to graduate. Please consult with the RN-BSN Advisor at Iowa for additional information and for a transfer credit evaluation to see what electives are needed and to make sure that courses you are signing up for are transferrable.
