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.
“Our DNP Nurse Anesthesia programs in both Austin, TX and Fairfield, CT cannot support applicants seeking to study on an F visa. If you are a permanent resident or U.S. citizen who has completed college-level credits outside the U.S., you must submit an official course-by-course World Education Services (WES) evaluation for all international coursework, submitted directly to NursingCAS by WES.”
- Credential evaluation
- World Education Services only, course-by-course, sent directly to NursingCAS
- English requirement
- TOEFL thresholds are published for other nursing programs but not for this one
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
Fairfield University Nurse Anesthesia Program — frequently asked
What GPA does Fairfield University Nurse Anesthesia Program require?
