Information for Prospective International Applicants
US Federal Immigration Regulations allow for only one online/distance course to be
counted towards the minimum required courses in any term for international
students in the US on a student visa or status. As many courses are taught in an
online or remote format in our professional graduate programs, the MSN,
Post-Baccalaureate DNP, and Post-Master's DNP programs in the School of
Nursing currently do not qualify for F-1 or J-1 student sponsorship. However,
students in other visa categories may be permitted to study. The BSN and Ph.D.
degree programs in the School of Nursing, due to extensive in-person coursework,
qualify for F-1 or J-1 student sponsorship.
