If you trained outside the US
We read this program's admissions pages and they take no position on international applicants. That is not a yes and not a no — ask the program before you spend anything.
“Applicants must meet Hofstra University Admission and English Proficiency requirements, as well as requirements for admission to the program. Critical care experience must be obtained in a critical care area within the United States, its territories, or in a U.S. military hospital outside of the U.S.”
- English requirement
- Deferred to Hofstra University's own English proficiency requirements; the program publishes no threshold
Requirements change between cycles, and a program can say one thing on its website and another in an email. Confirm with the program before you pay for a credential evaluation or an English exam. We do not advise on visas or immigration. The full route, step by step
