Admissions Criteria

Admission to this program requires:

• A baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing from a National League of Nursing (NLN)-accredited program with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a scale of 4.0. Applications from R.N.s who hold a non-nursing baccalaureate degree are considered on an individual basis.
• A copy of your current, unrestricted RN license or eligibility for licensure as a registered nurse. License verification from your nursing license registry website are acceptable.
• Official transcripts from all universities or colleges and other post-secondary educational institutions (including trade schools) attended. Instead of hard copy transcripts, you may supply official electronic transcripts issued by a post-secondary institution directly to Drexel University Online (use our email address, customerservice@drexel.com).  You must supply transcripts regardless of the number of credits earned or the type of school you attended.  If you do not list all post-secondary institutions on your application and these are listed on transcripts received from other institutions, processing of your application will be delayed until you have submitted the remaining transcripts.  Use our Transcript Lookup Tool to assist you in contacting your previous institutions.  |
• If you attended a Diploma School of Nursing and the school was affiliated with a college/university, the official transcript must be submitted from the college for any non-nursing courses for which you received credit.
• Current Resume
• Two professional letters of recommendation. Drexel University Online now accepts electronic letters of recommendation.  Please access the following webpage for instructions regarding their submission: http://www.drexel.edu/apply/recommend.  If a recommender prefers to submit an original, hard copy letter of recommendation, please remind the recommender that it must be signed and submitted in a sealed envelope signed across the flap by the recommender.
• Personal statement (length: 800 to 1600 words) that will give the admissions committee a better understanding of:
  • Why you are choosing this particular program of study
  • Your plans upon completion of the graduate degree
  • How your current work experience will enhance your experience in this MSN program
