If you trained outside the US
This program cannot sponsor a student visa. It has not set a citizenship rule, so a permanent resident or an applicant who already holds work authorization may still be eligible.
“The School of Nursing's Division of Advanced Nursing Practice welcomes applications from international students. Please note: Our programs do not qualify for F-1 or J-1 visa sponsorship. Applicants should ensure that they hold or are eligible for another visa type before applying.”

- Any NACES-approved service; World Education Services named as the example
- English requirement
- Required of all applicants regardless of US residency status whose degree was earned outside the United States in a country where English is not the primary language: TOEFL iBT writing 22, speaking 22, reading 21, listening 17; or IELTS overall 7; or Duolingo 120-130. Taken within two years and sent by the testing agency. Waivable where the entire degree was taught in English.
