What is the accreditation of Felbry College?

Felbry College is identified with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) as its institutional accreditor. Applicants should confirm the college's current status in ABHES's institution directory before enrolling, since accreditation status can change.

Institutional accreditation evaluates the college as an institution; it is not the same as accreditation or approval of an individual nursing program. Nursing applicants should separately verify the status of their exact program with the appropriate nursing accreditor and the Ohio Board of Nursing. Those distinctions can affect licensure eligibility, federal aid, and future educational options. Accreditation also does not compel another college to accept transfer credits.

What are the admission requirements at Felbry College?

Felbry College does not report an open-admission policy. In its reported first-time applicant group, it admitted 41 of 48 applicants - about 85% - and 23 enrolled. That rate describes one applicant group, not a guarantee of admission to a particular nursing program.

In 2024-25 admissions reporting, SAT and ACT scores, secondary-school GPA and rank, recommendations, and a college-preparatory program were neither required nor recommended. TOEFL was listed as required, making it especially important for applicants to confirm how the college applies its English-proficiency policy to their circumstances.

Applicants should obtain the current program-specific checklist before applying. Nursing admission and clinical participation can involve separate steps; the college's current requirements, deadlines, transcript instructions, and any health or background-screening conditions should be checked for the intended entry term.

What are the application fees and waivers at Felbry College?

Felbry College's reported application fee is $125. Because application charges and waiver policies can change, applicants should confirm the amount for their program and application method before paying.

The application fee is distinct from tuition, required academic fees, and any later enrollment deposit. An applicant who needs a waiver should ask admissions whether one is offered, what documentation is required, and whether approval must come before submitting payment.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Felbry College?

Applicants should not assume that Felbry College operates an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit. Anyone seeking a commission alongside a Felbry nursing credential needs to confirm directly with an ROTC host institution whether cross-enrollment is possible and whether Felbry coursework meets that program's rules.

ROTC scholarships have separate selection requirements and can carry a military service obligation. A nearby unit's existence, by itself, does not establish that Felbry students can participate through it.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Felbry College?

Transfer applicants should request a program-specific review of prior coursework before assuming that previous credits will shorten a Felbry nursing program. The reported first-time enrollment figures and transfer-credit policies answer different questions: admission to the college does not establish how any particular course will apply to a degree.

Felbry reports accepting dual credit but not awarding credit for Advanced Placement examinations or life experience. A prospective transfer student should submit official college transcripts and request a written evaluation showing accepted courses, remaining requirements, and any limits on transferring nursing or clinical coursework. The current catalog is the appropriate place to confirm any minimum grades, recency rules, and required credits completed at Felbry.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Felbry College?

Students considering Felbry College should plan around its nursing curriculum and required clinical experiences rather than assume that a semester abroad will fit their program. Any international coursework would need advance academic approval to establish whether it satisfies degree or clinical requirements.

An applicant interested in an outside study-abroad opportunity should obtain written guidance on credit acceptance, scheduling, licensure implications, and aid eligibility before making a financial commitment. An independently arranged overseas experience is not necessarily a college-approved part of a nursing program.
