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.
“Foreign institution transcripts must have an educational equivalency assessment completed and submitted with the official transcript. For nursing school graduates, a formal evaluation of their nursing program of study documenting equivalency to a U.S. Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree must be submitted.”
- Credential evaluation
- An educational equivalency assessment plus a separate nursing-degree equivalency evaluation; no agency named
- English requirement
- TOEFL or other acceptable proof of English proficiency, international applicants only
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
