Herzing University-Nashville

What is the accreditation of Herzing University-Nashville?

Herzing University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Institutional accreditation applies to the university as an institution; it is different from accreditation or approval of an individual degree program.

That distinction matters most in regulated fields. Nursing applicants should verify the accreditation status of their specific program, its Tennessee Board of Nursing approval where applicable, and whether it meets the requirements for the license and state in which they intend to work. Institutional accreditation is relevant to federal financial aid eligibility, but it does not guarantee that another college will accept transferred credit or that a graduate will qualify for a professional license. Those decisions involve separate rules.

What are the admission requirements at Herzing University-Nashville?

Applicants to Herzing University-Nashville generally need an application and academic records, with additional requirements determined by the program. The campus does not report an open-admission policy: admission and entry into a particular program should not be treated as automatic.

In its 2024-25 admissions reporting, the institution identified the secondary-school record and GPA as required information. SAT and ACT scores, class rank, recommendations, and completion of a college-preparatory curriculum were not listed as required or recommended. The same reporting identifies an English-language test requirement and another admission assessment; applicants should confirm which tests apply to their circumstances rather than assume that every student takes both.

Requirements can be more involved for nursing and other clinical programs. Before applying, check the current program's academic prerequisites and any separate progression, health-documentation, background-check, or clinical eligibility rules. In the reported first-time applicant group, 51 of 55 applicants were admitted - about 93%. That small applicant pool makes the percentage a limited guide to an individual applicant's chances, especially for a specific program.

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

Applicants should check Herzing University's current application instructions for the fee attached to their specific program and application route before submitting. An application charge, if one applies, is separate from tuition, required academic fees, and any later enrollment payment.

Applicants who need a waiver should ask admissions about eligibility and the request process before paying or submitting an application. They should also confirm whether a waiver applies to their applicant category; a general admissions answer may not cover a program with a separate process.

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

Prospective Herzing University-Nashville students should not assume they can join an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit through the campus. ROTC participation through another Nashville-area institution would require a confirmed cross-enrollment arrangement and approval under that host program's rules.

Someone pursuing a commission should ask the relevant ROTC host whether a Herzing student is eligible, whether the intended degree and enrollment pattern qualify, and how travel and military-course scheduling would work. ROTC scholarships and eventual service obligations are separate from veterans' education benefits used to pay tuition.

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

Transfer applicants should expect Herzing University to review prior college coursework against the requirements of the degree they want to enter. Admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular credits are separate decisions.

Applicants should submit official transcripts from each prior institution and request a written, program-specific credit evaluation. Herzing reports that it awards credit for some prior learning and Advanced Placement work, but an award of credit does not necessarily satisfy a nursing prerequisite or shorten a clinical sequence. Before withdrawing from another school, ask which courses fulfill general education requirements, which fulfill major requirements, and how many credits must be completed through Herzing. A program's current catalog is the appropriate place to check minimum grades and other restrictions.

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

Students considering Herzing University-Nashville for international study should verify an approved option before assuming that study abroad can fit their degree. The campus's career-focused and, in some programs, clinically sequenced coursework makes advance academic approval particularly important.

For a proposed semester, short program, or third-party experience, obtain written answers about transfer credit, whether the course satisfies a degree requirement, and whether financial aid can apply. Nursing students should also check whether time away would delay clinical courses or a required progression sequence.
