Select an Enrollment Objective on the Application Form
After accessing the application form, you will be asked to select your
enrollment objective. Your options will be post-baccalaureate,
master's, or one of the post-master's certificate programs.
Post-Baccalaureate
You will select post-baccalaureate if you are not ready to seek formal
admission into the graduate program. This option is useful when there
is not enough time to apply for regular admission, or if you are interested
in taking just a few courses. If you select this option, you will only
need to submit to the School of Nursing proof of your baccalaureate degree
(e.g. a copy of your transcript or diploma). You will not be required
to submit the remaining admission materials including the recommendations,
statement of purpose, resume, license, or official transcripts. A
criminal background check will also not be required at this time.
Master's
You will select this option if you are applying for regular admission
into the program. Admission deadlines are:
-
September 15 for Spring admission
-
February 15 for Summer or Fall admission
-
April 15 for Summer or Fall admission
Post Master's Certificate
You will select this option if you are applying for the Family Nurse
Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Specialist, or Nursing Education post-master's
certificate program.
Admission deadlines are:
-
September 15 for Spring admission
-
February 15 for Summer or Fall admission
-
April 15 for Summer or Fall admission
Recommendations may be completed directly through the
application system. You will just need the e-mail address of the
people that will give your recommendations, and the system will contact them
to complete the form. As an alternative, you can also print the
recommendation form, give the form to each recommender and ask them to mail
their recommendation form directly to the School of Nursing office.
The mailing address is listed below.

Submitting a Statement of Purpose through the
Application System
The statement of purpose consists of 300-500 words that address your
purpose for undertaking graduate study, your reasons for choosing Purdue,
career goals and research interests. We suggest that you submit the
statement of purpose directly through the application program. As an
alternative you can mail your statement to the School of Nursing office.
