Graduate Degree Programs: International Applicants

International applicants to the UW School of Nursing's Master of Nursing (MN), Master of Science (MS), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing Science (PhD) programs must meet all School of Nursing degree program requirements. Additional School of Nursing requirements include:

  • Proof of English Proficiency. All non-native speakers of English must provide proof of English language proficiency as established by the School of Nursing. English proficiency requirements are only waived if an applicant has received a previous degree from an English-speaking country or can provide official evidence that their previous degree instruction was in English. For questions about whether or not the requirement will be waived in your case, please contact the School of Nursing.
  • MN and DNP applicants must have an active, unrestricted Washington State RN license

We regret that neither the UW Graduate School nor the School of Nursing can provide transcript evaluations prior to your application to the UW. Some companies provide evaluation services, but this is not required for admission.
