Admission Requirements

Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate School and the School of Nursing. Preference for admission will be given to applicants who graduated from the Ball State University School of Nursing Master’s Program (graduation from the Ball State University School of Nursing Master’s Program does not guarantee admission into the Post-Master’s certificate program).

The post-master’s certificate nurse practitioner program (adult/gerontology and family concentrations) is designed for nurses who have completed a master’s degree in nursing. Transcripts and course descriptions from the student’s master’s program will be reviewed to determine what additional courses must be completed for certification eligibility as an adult/gerontology or family nurse practitioner.*
