Abstract:
Academic achievement was compared between students who transferred after having graduated from nursing college from 1994 through 1998 and formal students at Chiba nursing school. The transfer students had higher academic achievement in liberal arts, foreign languages, and major subjects. The academic achievement of older (27 years or older) transfer students was equal to that of younger (26 years or younger) transfer students. Approximately 10% of students required to repeat a year were transfer students. However, their academic achievement was no worse than that of students who finished their courses without interruption.
