Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City

What is the accreditation of Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City?

Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City identifies the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) as its institutional accreditor. Institutional accreditation evaluates the college as an educational institution; it is distinct from accreditation of a particular nursing degree program.

For nursing applicants, three questions deserve separate answers: whether the institution's accreditation is current, whether the Murray BSN has any applicable programmatic accreditation, and whether the program has the Utah approval needed for graduates to seek registered-nurse licensure. Accreditation or approval alone does not confer an RN license; graduates must satisfy the licensing authority's requirements, including the applicable examination. Institutional accreditation can be relevant to federal aid eligibility, but another college decides whether to accept transferred credits.

What are the admission requirements at Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City?

Admission to the Murray BSN is not classified as open admission. Applicants should expect to submit an application and academic records and complete the college's nursing admissions process.

For the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting cycle, the college classified a secondary-school record and GPA as required. It classified SAT and ACT scores, school rank and recommendations as neither required nor recommended, while identifying another admissions test as required. Applicants should obtain the current test name, qualifying score, transcript rules and any program-specific prerequisites directly from admissions before preparing an application; these requirements can differ from a general SAT-optional policy.

In one reported first-time applicant cohort, all 27 applicants were admitted and five enrolled. That small cohort's 100% admit rate is not a promise of admission to a future applicant. It also says little about the preparation needed to progress into nursing coursework.

What are the application fees and waivers at Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City?

The reported undergraduate application fee for Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City is $49. Applicants should distinguish this charge from tuition, required course fees and any payment due after an offer of admission.

Before submitting a paid application, ask admissions to confirm the current fee for the intended application route and whether a waiver is available. If requesting a waiver, obtain the eligibility criteria and approval procedure first; a fee charged at submission may not be refundable merely because an applicant later qualifies for assistance.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City?

Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City does not identify an Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC unit as part of its Murray campus offerings. Enrollment at a nearby university does not automatically make an Arizona College of Nursing student eligible for that university's ROTC program.

Applicants considering both nursing and officer commissioning should ask the prospective ROTC host and the nursing college about cross-enrollment eligibility, schedule compatibility and whether any scholarship can be used for this degree. ROTC participation can carry separate selection standards and service obligations.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City?

Transfer students are part of the Murray campus's incoming population, but admission and acceptance of previous coursework are separate decisions. The 2024-25 enrollment figures include 27 transfer-in degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates.

Applicants with college credit should arrange official transcripts and request a written, course-by-course evaluation. In particular, ask which science and general education courses satisfy BSN requirements, whether laboratory credits must meet specific standards, and how prior nursing coursework affects placement. An estimate of transferable credits is less useful than a degree plan showing the courses and clinical terms still required at Murray.

The college reports accepting Advanced Placement credit, while not accepting dual credit or credit for life experience in the cited admissions classifications. Those categories should not be treated as interchangeable with transfer credit earned at another college.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Arizona College of Nursing-Salt Lake City?

Study abroad is not an identified component of the Murray BSN. The program's required nursing courses and supervised clinical work make an overseas term a scheduling and approval question, not simply a matter of choosing electives abroad.

Students interested in international study should obtain advance confirmation that a proposed course would count toward the degree and fit the clinical sequence. An outside provider's promise of credit does not obligate the nursing college to apply that credit to BSN requirements.
