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:
- Submission of the application form and the $65 application fee
- An admission essay as outlined in the application packet
- Official transcript(s) from master's program only
- Three letters of reference
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores for applicants whose first language is other than English.
Following initial review of written credentials, qualified applicants are invited to the School for an interview with a member of the specialty faculty. Application deadlines are the same as for registered nurse applicants, found above.
Tuition is figured at a rate of $900 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.
