Doctoral Program Admissions
The GSN has rolling admissions: applications are considered as soon as they are complete. Once an application is reviewed, an interview will be scheduled with qualified applicants.
The completed application and interview evaluation is then reviewed by the Academic Standards and Admissions Committee. Applicants are reviewed individually on the basis of previous academic achievement, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, professional experience and personal attributes. Each application is reviewed to determine whether prerequisites have been met for acceptance into the Doctoral program. Admission criteria vary slightly for the different programs as described in the following sections.
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) This program prepares graduates for leadership roles in advanced nursing practice. The curriculum is designed to educate students to improve and transform health care through systems leadership, research translation and advanced clinical knowledge.
PhD in Nursing This innovative program promotes mentorship in research and scholarship among its faculty and students for the advancement of nursing science and practice.
