Many Galen students work while attending nursing school. However, if you are attending Galen on a full-time basis, it is best to work a very minimal amount of hours. Our nursing degree programs require a considerable amount of time outside the classroom for reading, studying, assignments, etc. You must be very disciplined with your time to be successful at Galen if you plan to work while attending.
In the evaluation of transfer credit, Galen utilizes TES®, the Transfer Evaluation System from CollegeSource, which is the premier interactive database of course data from institutions of higher education, to track and display previously approved courses for transfer.
