Felician University

What is the accreditation of Felician University?

Felician University is institutionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Institutional accreditation evaluates the university as a whole; it is different from approval or accreditation of an individual professional program.

This distinction is especially important in nursing and education. Students pursuing licensure should verify that their particular program and campus pathway meet current New Jersey requirements and any relevant professional-accreditation standards. Institutional accreditation is also relevant to federal financial-aid eligibility, but it does not guarantee that another college will accept every Felician credit or that a professional licensing board will approve every credential.

What are the admission requirements at Felician University?

First-year applicants should expect to submit an application and evidence of secondary-school completion, such as a high school transcript or an accepted equivalency credential. Requirements may differ for international applicants and for programs with clinical, certification, or other specialized components.

Felician's reported admissions history suggests broad access rather than highly selective entry: it admitted about 89% of first-year applicants in 2022. An institutional open-admission designation should not be read as an unconditional offer of admission to every program. Among enrolled first-time students, relatively few submitted standardized-test scores, so the reported SAT and ACT medians do not describe the entire entering class. Applicants should confirm the current testing policy and any program-specific GPA, prerequisite, English-proficiency, essay, or recommendation requirements before applying.

What are the application fees and waivers at Felician University?

The reported application fee is $30. Because fees and waiver procedures can change by application route or applicant category, applicants should check the amount displayed in the university's current application before submitting it.

Students who need a fee waiver should ask admissions how to request one before paying; paying the fee and receiving a waiver are not necessarily reversible steps. An application fee is separate from any later enrollment or housing deposit.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Felician University?

Applicants should not assume that Felician University operates an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit on either campus. Participation through a host institution would require a confirmed cross-enrollment arrangement and a schedule compatible with Felician classes.

A prospective cadet should establish the available branch and host school directly with the relevant ROTC program before enrolling. ROTC scholarships have separate selection processes, and participation can entail training requirements and, depending on the route taken, a military service obligation.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Felician University?

Felician University enrolls transfer students and reports transfer entry opportunities across fall, winter, spring, and summer terms. Transfer applicants should be prepared to provide official records from each college attended; some applicants may also need secondary-school records or program-specific materials.

Admission and credit acceptance are separate decisions. Felician reports accepting several forms of examination or evaluated learning credit, including AP, CLEP, DSST/DANTES, and some ACE-recommended credit. That does not mean every result will satisfy a particular major requirement. Prospective transfers should request an official evaluation showing which credits apply to general education, the major, and the total needed for graduation. Students entering nursing or teacher preparation should pay particular attention to course sequencing and placement requirements.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Felician University?

Students interested in studying abroad should establish which international programs Felician currently approves before committing to a destination or provider. An experience offered by another organization is not automatically a Felician-operated program or automatically eligible for degree credit.

The practical questions are whether proposed courses have advance academic approval, how they will count toward the degree, and whether institutional, federal, or state aid can be used. Those answers may differ for a semester abroad, a short-term course, and an independent international internship.
