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.
“Bachelor's of Science in Nursing from an accredited institution and CCNE or ACEN-accredited Nursing program or the equivalent degree in Nursing from a foreign institution. ... Coursework and degrees completed outside the U.S. require a course-by-course evaluation from a USF Graduate School-approved agency. Applicants from countries where English is not the official language must demonstrate English proficiency.”
- Credential evaluation
- Any agency approved by the USF Graduate School; the Florida Board of Nursing maintains its own list of approved evaluating agencies for licensure
- English requirement
- Required from countries where English is not the official language; thresholds are in the Graduate Catalog rather than on the program's page
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
