Through the RN to MS in Nursing program, learners can earn as many as 62 credit hours of undergraduate general education coursework and six hours of graduate-level coursework using The College Network's CLMs—saving time and money. Upon completion of each undergraduate CLM, earn college credit (“test out”) by passing end-of-course college equivalency exams such as CLEP®, DSST®, or the Excelsior College® Examination. Upon completion of graduate–level CLMs, comprehensive exams are taken to earn college credit. These credits are then transferred, and learners complete the remaining portion of the program, including online courses, directly through Regis University.
