Application Process
Applications to the MS and Post-MS programs are accepted for the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms every year. Admission criteria includes compliance with admission requirements, evaluation of undergraduate academic performance in the Sciences and work experience. The process may also include an interview with members of the graduate committee in the School of Nursing.
The deadline for Spring 2013 applications has passed. Please contact Viviana Belisle for more information about the application process.
We encourage you to apply for any of the three MS tracks offered in the School of Nursing. Once your complete file has been reviewed by the graduate admissions office, a formal admission decision is made by the Graduate Selection and Progression Committee in the School of Nursing.
Early registration ensure a greater selection of course options for you, as classes tend to fill up quickly when the start of the semester approaches.
Qualified applicants to the post-graduate certificate programs must submit all required application materials and will follow the same admission process as for MS candidates.
