The specific program of study is developed by the member of the School of Nursing faculty responsible for coordinating the area of specialty. The program may include course work to re-establish a base of knowledge in a particular area as well as courses in advanced practice not included in the applicant's original degree program. All applicants are considered on an individual basis. The School of Nursing selects those applicants who are best qualified academically and personally. After all application materials are received, the Admissions and Continuance Committee reviews the applicant's credentials and makes the decision to accept, defer, or deny admission or to request more data.
Final acceptance is contingent upon satisfactory completion of prerequisites.
A final transcript must be submitted prior to matriculation. This serves as confirmation of intent to enroll, and it will apply to the first semester's tuition. Registered nurses with master's degrees in clinical specialties may enroll in Post-Master's course work.
