Applicants must meet the admission requirements for the MSN program delineated elsewhere. Nine units of graduate courses are substituted for specific undergraduate courses. See the Undergraduate Bulletin for more details. The School of Nursing offers Post-MSN certificate programs for adult, family, and pediatric nurse practitioner education and a School Health Nurse Services Credential program. These certificate programs are for nurses with a Master's degree in other nursing specialties who want to gain advanced preparation as adult, family, or pediatric nurse practitioners.
Graduates are also eligible to sit for national certification examinations.
The GRE or MAT is not required for admission. Applicants who have taken equivalent course work or can demonstrate specific knowledge and skills may have selected course requirements waived. These requests will be considered on an individual basis. School Health Option See Post-MSN FNP Program for requirements of the School Health Option.
