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.
“Does Rosalind Franklin University accept International Students? Yes. If you completed coursework outside of the US, you must have a course-by-course evaluation completed by www.wes.org. ... This requirement is waived if you have attended a minimum of two consecutive years of college study or higher in the United States or if applicant is a permanent US resident.”
- Credential evaluation
- World Education Services only, course-by-course, sent directly to NursingCAS
- English requirement
- TOEFL with total and section scores, unless English is the applicant's native language. Waived after two consecutive years of US college study, or for a permanent US resident.
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
