Advanced pathophysiology, advanced pharmacology and advanced physical assessment, common components of M.S. in Nursing programs, may qualify for transfer credit if they have been completed within 3-5 years of enrolling at Franklin. An official transfer credit evaluation is necessary to award credit. 

Franklin’s nursing programs are designed to accommodate the schedules of ambitious working RNs, so all coursework for the post-graduate certificates is offered in an online, asynchronous format for maximum flexibility.
