.

Admission
Information
Thank you for your interest in the college of nursing.
We want to work with you to make the application process as manageable as
possible. Here are some important tips about our application process:
1. Our application is self-managed. We require that you submit your completed
application—with all supplemental materials—at the same time, in the same envelope.
Please do not send transcripts, recommendations, etc., under separate cover.
2. Please do not use binders, covers, or plastic sleeves to send us your application.
We need to make copies of it for the various committees that will review it. There is
no need for fancy packaging—we are most impressed by strong academics, powerful
personal statements, and amazing recommendations.
3. Speaking of recommendations—our doctoral and master’s programs require them.
We do not provide, or require, special recommendation forms. We do, however, want
professional and/or academic letters of recommendation typewritten and on letter-
head. Be sure to give your recommender enough time to write the recommendation
and have him or her give it to you in a sealed envelope and on institutional letterhead.
Remember that most recommenders are very busy people. We suggest that you start
this process early.
4. Use your personal statement to give us an honest representation of who you are,
why you want to enter the program/specialty and pursue a career as an advanced
practice nurse. We definitely want to be sure you can write, but we also want to make

sure the program we offer is the best match for you as a potential graduate student.
5. Don’t take anything for granted. Read the instructions, visit our Web site, and
double-check everything. Take charge of the process, get everything in by the deadline,
and then anticipate the decision of the Admissions Committee. If you include a self-
addressed, stamped postcard, we will return it to you to verify that we received your
application. Our goal is to help you submit an outstanding application—so work with
us, and together we can make it happen. We wish you the best.

Your completed
application
must include the
following:
Application
Deadlines
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all
materials are in the Office of Student Affairs and
Admissions by the appropriate deadline. All deadlines
listed are “in-office” deadlines, not postmark deadlines. It
is always to the candidate’s best advantage to apply early.
Should any of the dates listed below fall on a weekend, the
in-office deadline will be the next working day.
Master’s and Advanced Certificate Programs

1. A completed and signed application.

2. A personal statement, with your name and U.S. Social
Security number (if available) on each page.
3. A copy of your most recent résumé.
4. A copy of your RN licensure.
5. One (1) official transcript in a sealed envelope from
each postsecondary school attended. These transcripts
must be sent to you to be included in your completed
application packet. (Do not open the transcripts when
they arrive—we must receive them in sealed envelopes.)
Please do not send transcripts under separate cover as this
will greatly delay the processing of your application.
Official transcripts that are stamped “issued to student,”
but remain in sealed envelopes, are considered official by
the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions.
6. A check or money order (please do not send cash) for
the $75.00 nonreturnable application fee payable to “New
York University.” All checks or money orders must be
drawn on a U.S. bank and in U.S. dollars. Other forms
of payment, including credit cards and bank transfers,
are not acceptable.
7. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL):
required for applicants whose native language is not
English. An unofficial copy of your latest TOEFL scores
must be included with your completed application
packet. Official scores are required before a decision can
be rendered. Please arrange to have your official TOEFL
scores sent to us before the deadline. Our TOEFL test
code is 1617.
8. Graduate Record Examination (GRE): required for
all doctoral applicants only. An unofficial copy of your

latest GRE scores must be included with your completed
application packet. Please arrange to have your official
GRE scores sent to us before the appropriate deadline.
The College of Nursing GRE test code is 2441.
9. Recommendation letters: required for our master’s
and doctoral programs. Reference letters in support of
master’s and advanced certificate study must be written
by a master’s prepared nurse who provides direct super -
vision. Reference letters in support of doctoral study
must be written by doctorally prepared faculty members,
and at least one should be from a doctorally prepared
nurse. Please see the listings in the Directory of Graduate
Programs section of this booklet for additional informa-
tion on your program. Please have all recommendations
sent to you in sealed envelopes to be forwarded, unopened,
to our office with your completed application for admis-
sion. Because all full-time doctoral candidates are auto-
matically considered for the graduate and teaching
assistantships (GA/TAs), the recommendations you sub-
mit with your application for admission may also serve
as your recommendations for the GA/TAs.
10. A postage-paid, self-addressed postcard: optional,
for domestic applicants only. We will return it to you
verifying receipt of your application.
11. All programs reserve the right to request recommenda-
tions or other materials at a future date, if deemed
necessary for admission or financial aid consideration.

Special Instructions
for International

Applicants
www.nyu.edu/oiss
The College of Nursing encourages applications from
international students. We offer a diversity of programs
that attract master’s and doctoral candidates from all
over the world.
1. We encourage you to apply early. Because additional
mailing time and processing are required for interna-
tional credentials, you should have all application
materials in our office by February 1 for the fall semester
and by November 1 for the spring semester.
2. You must have the equivalent of an American bache-
lor’s degree to be considered. Two (2) transcripts in the
original language as well as two (2) English translations
are required to be submitted with your application. If
your academic credentials are not in English and/or are
from a foreign school with a grading system not based on
a 4.0 overall GPA, we strongly suggest that you obtain an
evaluation and translation. This is a paid service available
to you from Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc.
(ECE), and World Education Services (WES). We require
evaluation reports that identify the United States equiva-
lents of educational qualifications earned in other coun-
tries, including subject-by-subject GPA and degree
equivalence. Visit www.wes.org or www.ece.org for more
information.
3. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is
mandatory for all applicants whose native language is
not English and who did not receive a bachelor’s degree
at an English-speaking college or university. Include a

copy of your TOEFL score report with your application.
The TOEFL cannot be waived, and the official scores
must be in our office by February 1 for the fall semester
or by November 1 for the spring semester. The College of
Nursing looks for a paper-based TOEFL score range of
550 to 600, a computer-based TOEFL score range of
230 to 250, or an Internet-based score range of 88 to 100
for consideration. Include a copy of your TOEFL score
report with your application. The College of Nursing
TOEFL test code is 1617. See the Web site at www.toefl.org
for registration information.
4. Regardless of the TOEFL score, all accepted applicants
whose native language is not English are required to take
a placement examination, for an additional fee, at New
York University’s American Language Institute (ALI) on
arrival. Depending on your performance on this exami-
nation, you may be required to take noncredit remedial
English course work before or while taking regular aca-
demic course work. Such remedial course work may
lengthen the time and expense of graduate study and
should therefore be taken into account by students and
their funding sources.
5. The College of Nursing does not offer scholarship
assistance to international students in master’s degree
programs. Non-U.S. citizens seeking tuition assistance
through loans should check the NYU Web site at
www.nyu.edu/financial.aid/international.php for
additional information on loan opportunities open
to most international students.
6. In order to participate in the Graduate Nursing

Program’s practicum components, you must hold a
New York State Registered Nurse license.
A. Apply to the New York State Education
Department, Office of the Professions, for
Registered Professional Nurse licensure
(www.op.nysed.gov/nurse.htm).
•
Download and submit Form 1, Application for
Licensure (www.op.nysed.gov/nurseforms.htm).
•
Section 22 of this application asks for confirmation
of your completion of an NYS-approved two-hour
course in child abuse identification and reporting.
One other requirement for New York licensure
is a course in infection control for health care
professionals, which is not necessary for comple-
tion of the application, but would be requested
from you by any New York institution you work
with in the future. Through the experience of
international student applicants in the past, we rec-
ommend Nursing Spectrum’s Self-Study Module
(www.nursing.com/ce) to be the most feasible way
to complete these two New York licensure require-
ments. The most affordable approach with Nursing
Spectrum’s Self-Study Module would be to register
for the Unlimited CE Program.
B. Apply for verification of your education and licen-
sure/registration credentials for the New York State
Education Department with the Commission on
Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS)

(www.cgfns.org).
•
Download and apply for Credentials Verification
Service for New York State (www.cgfns.org/sections/
programs/ces). Create an account with CGFNS
in order to apply, pay, and monitor application
status; verification of credentials takes a minimum
of 180 days. Once verified, your credentials will be
forwarded to and evaluated by the New York State
Education Department as part of your licensure
application.
C. Upon processing of both applications, you will
receive authorization to take the NCLEX exam,
known as Authorization to Test (ATT). To
register to take the NCLEX exam, set up a Web
account for NCLEX testing with Pearson VUE
(www.vue.com/nclex).
In general, please allow six months for the entire
licensure application process, with the CGFNS cre-
dential verification application requiring the most
time. You must complete the licensure process
prior to beginning your graduate program.
7. In addition, you must have completed the two-part
health clearance requirement:
A. Illness/Immunization Documentation Form
(one time only)
This form requires immunization information
(either date of immunization or titers/laboratory
documentation of immunity) for the following:
•

Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
•
Hepatitis B: three inoculations
•
Vari ce lla ti ter
•
Diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT): proof
of immunization within the last 10 years
•
Meningococcal meningitis vaccine B
B. Annual Health Assessment (yearly)
This form requires information on the following:
•
Complete history and physical examination
•
PPD (Mantoux) status
As a less expensive alternative, we strongly encourage
you to have the above done in your home country.

Special Instructions
for Nonmatriculated,
Special, and Visiting
Students
This application may not be used to apply as a non-
matriculated student, also known as nondegree, special,
or visiting student. Only U.S. citizens and permanent
residents seeking to take courses in the College of
Nursing may take classes under this status. Nonmatric -
ulating candidates can download and submit a
nonmatriculated application from www.nyu.edu/

nursing/academicprograms/nondegree.html, the $75.00
application fee, and proof (an official transcript) of a

Minimum grade point averages may apply. Only
candidates who hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing
or an associate’s degree in nursing combined with a
nonnursing bachelor’s degree are eligible for nonmatricu-
lated status. Taking classes as a nonmatriculated student
does not guarantee admission to degree status. The
maximum number of allowable credits in this status is 18.
Study Abroad
The College of Nursing offers some study abroad
opportunities. Graduate students may wish to add
study abroad during their studies. In the past, our
students have studied in programs at a wide range
of locations, including the following:

•
The HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Uganda
•
Nursing Issues and Trends in Chile and Ireland
