Columbus, OH 43210 - I have taken college-level coursework previously. How can I determine what is transferrable to this program?
-
Evaluation of previously completed coursework for transfer is completed once you’ve been admitted and accepted the offer of admission. Transfer coursework is evaluated, and credit is awarded through a university process. Here are some resources available that can assist you in exploring what coursework may transfer to Ohio State. These include:
- Structure of the General Education Curriculum
- Information for students who completed an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science or Ohio Transfer 36
- Search for classes at Ohio State that fulfill General Education Requirements
- You may use courses found from above search to find a coursework equivalent to Ohio State courses using Transferology
It is important to note that the information obtained from these resources does not guarantee all credit will transfer into Ohio State once a student matriculates. For more information regarding transfer credit, please visit Transfer Credit FAQ webpage.

-
Although the College of Nursing does not require students to take a foreign language, we encourage students to take the Foreign Language Placement Exam. Depending on the placement score students may receive elective credit, which is required for graduation.
- What if I cannot get into the prerequisite courses?
-
The academic advisors will assist you in scheduling and help you register for the required classes.
