Prior completion of a 3-credit, graduate-level statistics course from an accredited four-year university with a grade of B or better is required prior to matriculation into the MSN-PhD track. If you wish to take NURS-R 505 Measurement & Data Analysis or another course at IU Indianapolis to fulfill this requirement, please contact nuadmit@iu.edu for details on how to apply as a non-degree student.
Complete and submit an IU graduate application for your intended program by the application deadline. We recommend using Google Chrome to complete your application.
Be sure to upload the required supplemental materials to your application before submitting:
- Resume/CV
- Personal statement
- Writing sample
You do not need to upload unofficial transcripts to your application. There are optional places in the application to do so, but you may skip those.
There is a $70 non-refundable application fee. This fee is waived for IU School of Nursing alumni.
If you have questions about your application submission, please contact Graduate Nursing Admissions at nuadmit@iu.edu.
