Herzing University-Madison

What is the accreditation of Herzing University-Madison?

Herzing University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Institutional accreditation applies to the university as a whole; it is distinct from accreditation or approval of an individual nursing or other professional program.

Institutional accreditation is relevant to eligibility for federal student aid and can matter when another college reviews transfer credit. Neither accreditation nor completed coursework guarantees that another institution will accept credits. Students entering a licensed profession should also verify the accreditation, state approval and licensing eligibility of their specific program and intended state of practice before enrolling.

What are the admission requirements at Herzing University-Madison?

Herzing University-Madison is not an open-admission institution. Degree-seeking applicants generally need an application and documentation of high school completion or an equivalent credential, along with the academic records required for their applicant category.

Institutional admissions reporting identifies the secondary-school record and GPA as required considerations, while school rank, recommendations and SAT or ACT scores are neither required nor recommended. English-language proficiency requirements may apply to applicants whose circumstances call for them. An additional assessment may also be required, so applicants should distinguish a general admissions test from an exam required by a particular program.

Some programs, especially those involving clinical training, can have additional prerequisites or screening requirements. Applicants should obtain the current requirements for their intended credential and start date rather than assuming that general university admission automatically admits them to a limited-capacity program. In the reported first-time applicant group, 562 of 596 applicants were admitted, an acceptance rate of about 94%; admission still depended on meeting applicable requirements.

What are the application fees and waivers at Herzing University-Madison?

Applicants should confirm whether their specific Herzing University application carries a fee before submitting it. An application charge, if applicable, is separate from tuition, mandatory fees and any later enrollment-related payment.

Anyone seeking a waiver should ask admissions about eligibility and the request procedure before paying or submitting an application. Fee policies can differ by program or applicant category, and a waiver should not be assumed to apply automatically.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Herzing University-Madison?

Herzing University-Madison should not be treated as an on-campus Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC host without confirmation of a current arrangement. Its published academic focus is on career and professional programs, not a campus-based ROTC corps.

A student interested in ROTC would need to establish whether a nearby host institution permits cross-enrollment and whether its training schedule can be combined with a Herzing degree. ROTC participation and scholarships have separate eligibility rules, and accepting certain benefits can bring a military service obligation. Enrollment at a nearby college does not itself establish a cross-enrollment agreement.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Herzing University-Madison?

Herzing University generally considers transfer credit from other accredited institutions, but admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular credits are separate decisions. Applicants should submit official transcripts from their prior colleges for an individual evaluation.

The university also reports accepting Advanced Placement credit, CLEP examinations, DSST/DANTES examinations and certain credit recommended by the American Council on Education. Credit for prior learning may be considered. Whether any credit applies to a particular degree depends on its content, grade or score, program rules and the university's evaluation.

Before committing to a program, transfer applicants should request a written, program-specific evaluation showing which requirements remain. This is especially important when a degree includes sequenced nursing courses, clinical work or other requirements that general elective credit may not replace.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Herzing University-Madison?

Students should not assume that Herzing University-Madison offers a built-in semester or year abroad for their program. The feasibility of international study depends on the degree plan, course delivery and any in-person or licensing requirements.

A student considering a third-party international course should obtain written approval for transfer credit before enrolling and ask financial aid how participation would affect eligibility. Nursing clinical requirements and other tightly sequenced courses may make an independently arranged experience difficult to fit into a degree plan.
