Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland

What is the accreditation of Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland?

Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland identifies the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) as its institutional accreditor. Institutional accreditation concerns the college as an educational institution; nursing program accreditation and state authorization address different questions.

For a prospective nurse, the distinction matters. Applicants should verify the Cleveland BSN program's current professional accreditation in the relevant nursing accreditor's directory and its approval status with the Ohio Board of Nursing, using the exact campus and program name. They should also confirm that the program meets the educational requirements for the state in which they intend to seek licensure. Institutional accreditation can be relevant to federal-aid eligibility and credit recognition, but it does not compel another college to accept transfer credits or, by itself, qualify a graduate for a license. State nursing licensure has additional requirements, including the applicable licensing examination.

What are the admission requirements at Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland?

Admission to Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland involves an application and review of academic records; it is not described as an open-admission process. In the 2024-25 admissions reporting, the college required a secondary-school record and GPA and listed an admission test other than the SAT or ACT as required.

SAT and ACT scores were neither required nor recommended in that reporting. School rank, recommendations, and completion of a college-preparatory program were likewise not listed as requirements. Applicants should confirm the current entrance-assessment name, score expectations, transcript instructions, and any high-school completion or equivalency documentation with admissions before applying. Nursing enrollment can also involve separate health, immunization, background-check, or clinical-site conditions; those conditions should be distinguished from the requirements for submitting an application.

The reported first-time applicant group was small: 47 applicants were admitted out of 47 in the referenced admissions count, and 11 enrolled. That 100% admission rate describes one reported cohort, not a promise that a future applicant will be accepted or cleared for clinical participation.

What are the application fees and waivers at Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland?

The reported undergraduate application fee for Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland is $49. Applicants should confirm the amount shown in the current application before paying, since fees can change.

An application fee is separate from tuition, required course charges, and any later enrollment payment. Applicants who need a fee waiver should ask admissions whether one is offered, what documentation is required, and whether approval must be obtained before submitting the application; they should not assume that a waiver will be applied after payment.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland?

ROTC should not be assumed to be part of the Cleveland campus's nursing program. Applicants interested in Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC need to establish whether a host university permits Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland students to cross-enroll and whether the arrangement accommodates the BSN timetable.

ROTC eligibility, scholarships, training schedules, and post-graduation service obligations vary by branch and program. Nursing applicants should obtain confirmation from both the proposed host unit and Arizona College of Nursing before treating ROTC participation or funding as part of an enrollment plan.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland?

Transfer applicants should expect an individual review of prior college work rather than automatic application of every completed credit to the Cleveland BSN. The campus reported 37 transfer-in degree-seeking undergraduates in its 2024-25 enrollment figures, showing that transfer entry is a meaningful part of its student population.

The crucial question is not simply whether a course transfers, but whether it satisfies a particular BSN requirement and allows the student to enter the intended course sequence. Applicants should arrange for official transcripts from every prior college and request a written, course-by-course evaluation before relying on a projected graduation date or cost. They should also ask about minimum grades, science-course age limits, credit for AP examinations, and any limit on credits that can replace nursing or clinical courses. The reported admissions information indicates that AP credit is accepted, while dual credit and credit for life experience are not accepted.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland?

Study abroad is not a defining feature of Arizona College of Nursing-Cleveland's BSN pathway. Students should not assume that an overseas semester, exchange, or international clinical placement can replace required nursing courses or supervised clinical hours.

A student considering an outside program would need advance written approval explaining how its credits apply to the BSN and whether it affects the nursing course sequence. Clinical education is subject to program, placement, and licensing requirements that make an independently arranged international experience different from an approved clinical assignment.
