WHAT DO I NEED TO APPLY?

As of October 2003 - SON policy #200, non-nursing baccalaureate degrees may be considered for admission - however, YOU MUST BE A REGISTERED NURSE. The program coordinator will evaluate the educational background and clinical experience of such applicants and make recommendations for remedial coursework as deemed necessary prior to admission.

• A 3 credit undergraduate statistics course
• At least one year of Nursing experience in ICU/Critical Care within the last 5 years by the start of the program

• Applications with all required materials must be received before January 5th for the next admission.
• ALL ADMISSION MATERIALS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO STUDENT SERVICES, NOT DIRECTLY TO THE NURSE ANESTHESIA PROGRAM. Failure to do so may cause a time delay in processing your application.
• Interviews are granted as completed applications are received and evaluated.
• Interviews begin in November for admission the following Fall and continue until the class is full.
• Early application is recommended - admission is competitive.
• Part-Time: The admission criteria and interview process is the same as for full time.
