Will transfer credit satisfy any of the prerequisites?
TAURUS
Transfer Articulation and University Requirements at UB System (TAURUS) is a database of how transfer courses will transfer to UB. Check how your credits will transfer though TAURUS. Courses listed in TAURUS as transferring to UB as the exact same UB prerequisite course number or to UB as the Nursing Equivalent Course (NSG999TR_ _ _) will fulfill the school of nursing prerequisite.

Syllabus Review (courses not listed in TAURUS)
For prerequisite courses below that are not listed in TAURUS use the online form to submit a syllabi review. Syllabi must include a topical outline and lab outline (if applicable). Below are the prerequisite course titles and the UB department you will need to select when you submit the syllabi:
- Human Anatomy / PAS
- Human Physiology / PGY
- A&P1 & A&P2 / PAS & PGY
- Chemistry / CHE
- Microbiology / MIC
- Pharmacology / PMY
- Applied Patho Physiology / PGY
- Nutrition / NTR
- Intro to Sociology / SOC
- Intro to Psychology /PSY
- Nursing Statistics / NSG
- Human Growth and Development / NSG
Since TAURUS does not review graduate level courses if you have a graduate level course that you believe may fulfill a prerequisite, you can email the syllabi to nursing@buffalo.edu. If you have an upper division nursing course you would like to be reviewed, you must wait until you have direct admission to the nursing program.
