Walden Transfer Credits: 50 StraighterLine Mappings — Including A&P at the 3000 Level

Walden University maps 50 StraighterLine options, and almost every one arrives worth 5 Walden credits. The headline row is rare anywhere: the Anatomy & Physiology lecture-and-lab combos land as BIOL 3020, a 3000-level course. The fine print matters too — Microbiology counts only toward the nursing requirement, and a few rows apply only to Tempo Learning students. All of it is flagged below.

Key facts: StraighterLine transfer credit at Walden

50unique mappings

Walden’s table maps 50 StraighterLine options after removing one duplicate row in the source.

5credits per course

Nearly every StraighterLine course arrives worth 5 Walden credits — Pharmacology (4.5) is the lone exception.

3020the A&P course number

A&P I or II with lab lands as BIOL 3020 Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology — a 3000-level course.

3001marketing and statistics

Intro to Marketing lands as MRKT 3001, and Statistics as STAT 3001 — more 3000-level landings.

2nursing-only Micro rows

Microbiology — with or without its lab — maps to BIOL 2888 only for the nursing microbiology requirement.

3Tempo-only rows

Principles of Management and the STAT 2002 statistics option apply only to Tempo Learning students.

70%minimum grade

Pass StraighterLine courses with 70% or higher for transfer.

2histories, one course

U.S. History I and II both map to the same HIST 2050C — only one will count.

Walden undergraduate courses carry 5 credits, and most StraighterLine courses transfer at that full value.
A&P I or II with its lab lands as BIOL 3020 plus math/natural-science gen-ed credit; the lecture-only A&P rows carry an asterisk in the source, so confirm those with an advisor.
Microbiology with lab counts as BIOL 2888 only for the nursing microbiology requirement; for other programs it lands as general natural-science credit.
Several rows name Tempo Learning explicitly — Walden’s competency-based format — so the same course can apply differently depending on how you enroll.

A&P at the 3000 level — and a Microbiology row just for nurses

Walden’s table maps both StraighterLine A&P lecture-and-lab combos to BIOL 3020 Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, a 3000-level course, alongside math and natural-science gen-ed credit. The lecture-only A&P rows carry an asterisk in the source, so confirm how those apply to your plan. Microbiology with lab maps to BIOL 2888 — but only for the nursing microbiology requirement.

The fine print: Tempo-only rows and one duplicate to skip

Two kinds of flags shape a Walden plan. Tempo-only rows (Principles of Management and the STAT 2002 option) help only if you enroll in Tempo Learning. And U.S. History I and II both map to HIST 2050C, so taking both buys one course, not two.

Not enrolled yet — or already a Walden student? Your format decides some rows

Walden runs both course-based and Tempo Learning formats, and a few mappings depend on which one you choose. Pick your scenario:

Walden’s 5-credit courses make its exchange rate unusually generous: one StraighterLine course fills a full 5-credit Walden slot. The planning traps are specific. Decide on Tempo or course-based study before buying the Tempo-only rows. Nursing students get the most from the science slate — A&P at the 3000 level, Microbiology toward the nursing requirement — while everyone else should note that Microbiology lands only as general science credit. Current students should confirm the asterisked A&P rows with an advisor before relying on them.

Walden + StraighterLine questions

Does Walden University accept StraighterLine credits?

Yes — Walden maps 50 StraighterLine options, and most arrive worth 5 Walden credits. Pass with 70% or higher and send your official StraighterLine transcript.

How does Anatomy & Physiology transfer to Walden?

A&P I or A&P II taken with its lab lands as BIOL 3020 Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology — a 3000-level course — along with math/natural-science gen-ed credit. The lecture-only rows also point to BIOL 3020 but carry an asterisk in the source, so confirm those with an advisor.

Does StraighterLine Microbiology count for Walden nursing?

Yes, specifically: Microbiology with lab maps to BIOL 2888 for the nursing microbiology requirement only. In other programs it lands as general natural-science credit.

What are the Tempo-only rows?

Tempo Learning is Walden’s competency-based format. Principles of Management (BUSI 1002) and the STAT 2002 Business Statistics option are listed for Tempo students only; course-based students should plan around them.

Which StraighterLine courses land at the 3000 level at Walden?

The A&P combos (BIOL 3020), Intro to Marketing (MRKT 3001), Business Communication (COMM 3005), and Statistics (STAT 3001).

Anything to avoid at Walden?

Don’t take both U.S. History courses — they map to the same HIST 2050C. Pharmacology arrives only as a lower-level general elective at 4.5 credits.
