CNA certification and COSC Health Studies BS

[amielynne]

Hello,


Does anyone know if a CNA certification would work for the health care requirement for a BS in Health Studies from COSC? I have been an state licensed Nurse Aid for over a year and have many of the classes complete for this degree. It states in the catalog, " a student must have completed an accredited program in a health area resulting in a certificate, associate degree, or licensure." Mine did result in a certificate, but I couldn't find any further info on this. Thanks for the help!

According to this link, the Health Care Professions requirement needs to be 12 credits. I'm quite certain that as long as you have 12 credits, they would accept it...However, I'd recommend calling to get clarification. Charter Oak, unlike COSC and EC, is very forthcoming with information for potential students.

Was your CNA through a credit or a non-credit/adult ed program?

I called them and they said is wouldn't work. Boo, I have so many of the classes that would apply to it too! Oh well, no biggie. Thanks for the replies everyone!
