National League for Nursing Commission for Nursing Education Accreditation (NLN CNEA) 
2600 Virginia Avenue NW 
Washington, DC 20037

CNEA Accreditation is an official accrediting agency of the US Dept. of Education. More information on this designation.

SCTCC has an articulation agreement with MSU-Moorhead that will accept all 64 credits of the Mobility Degree towards their online BSN degree 120 credit requirement. This agreement allows students to easily get their first two years done at SCTCC, and finish with a BSN from MSU-Moorhead. 

If you are a student that is interested in pursuing your BSN after graduating from SCTCC, you will want to complete the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum courses. All of these must be completed before applying to the BSN program through MSU-Moorhead.  

To ensure you meet the requirements for the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, students can get a second Degree Audit Report for the Associate of Arts added to your online E-Services student account. Students can then declare a second major by submitting a change of program form to the Admissions Team requesting the Associate of Arts degree as a second major.  

The courses required for the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum can be found at the top of the listing for all of the majors at SCTCC.
