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.
“Since the DNP program is a variable in-person commitment, this program does not meet the requirements for students who have VISAs for educational purposes. ... Critical care experience must be obtained in a critical care area within the United States, its territories or a US military hospital outside of the United States.”
- Credential evaluation
- One of UTMB's required credentialing services, course-by-course, reported to NursingCAS; the services are not named on this page
- English requirement
- TOEFL computer score 83 minimum, or IELTS 6.5
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
