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.
“Be able to communicate effectively in English and Spanish in a clear and concise manner. **Some of the courses can be offered in English. Have Spanish communication abilities sufficient to interact professionally with others in verbal and written form, and have reading skills appropriate to understand patient charts, reports, and orders. ... If that RN and/or APRN license is not issued through Puerto Rico, the applicant must be eligible for Puerto Rico licensure at the time of application. Transcripts from institutions outside the United States will be required to submit a foreign credential evaluation or that coursework.”
- Credential evaluation
- None named — a foreign credential evaluation is required but no agency is specified
- English requirement
- No test named. English AND Spanish are both required as functional abilities, in speech and in writing, with Spanish reading sufficient for patient charts, reports and orders.
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
Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios — frequently asked
What GPA does Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios require?
Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios lists a GPA of at least 3.0 across all college coursework. Minimums are a floor, not a target — admitted applicants are frequently above them, so treat the stated number as the bar to clear rather than the goal.
How much ICU experience does Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios require?
At least 12 months of critical-care experience. Most programs want that experience to be recent, in an adult ICU, and at high acuity — the unit you work in usually matters as much as the number of months.

How long is the Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios program?
36 months of full-time study, awarding the DNAP. Nurse anesthesia programs are front-loaded and clinically intense; most discourage working during the program.
How much does Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios cost?
Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios doesn't state a program total. Its published rate works out to $106,110 in tuition — that's our calculation, not a figure the program states (2026-2027 rates). Books, living costs and any fees not included come on top, and because most students can't work much during the program, budget for living expenses across its full length.
When is the Professional University Dr. Carlos J. Borrero Rios application deadline?
The program page's 'Priority Deadlines' table lists June 1 under 'Summer Start' and October 15 under 'Fall Deadline', but its entering classes start in January, so the page doesn't say which date is the final deadline for the next class.
