Emory University

• The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory University has nursing programs for traditional and non-traditional students who already have a non-nursing bachelor's degree. The traditional program admits students in their junior year, meaning students can complete their prerequisite courses at any accredited college or university. Non-traditional students who have a non-nursing bachelor's degree can apply to the same program; however, their prerequisites differ due to the assumption that their bachelor's degree included extensive general education requirements. Applications for both programs are due January 15 of each year, and students matriculate only in the fall.
