Admission Requirements and Application Procedures
Requirements for admission include current Connecticut R.N. licensure, a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, a master's degree in nursing in a clinical specialty area, and at least one year of post master's clinical nursing experience (preferred).
For the Post Master's Adult Nurse Practitioner and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner options, applicants must have access to a clinical site and preceptor(s) for primary care clinical courses. The following materials are required:
- Application form and fee ($65)
- Résumé/Curriculum Vitae
- Personal statement/essay
- Official transcript from your Master’s in Nursing program*
- Three letters of recommendation
- TOEFL or IETLS (required for non-native English speakers who have not graduated from a U.S. college or university)
*International transcripts must be evaluated by a credentialing agency such as World Education Service. In addition, a certified English translation must accompany all non-English transcripts.
Following initial review of written credentials, qualified applicants are invited to the School for an interview with a member of the specialty faculty. The application deadlines are the same as for registered nurse applicants: November 1–March 1 (rolling admissions during this time period).
Tuition is figured at a rate of $1,145 per credit. Students are not charged for courses that are waived by either transcript or challenge examination. Post master’s students are not eligible for scholarship aid, but may be eligible for loan assistance based on individual need. For more information, contact the financial aid officer at the School.
