AdventHealth University currently cannot enroll students who are residents of the following states/districts into the MSN Family Nurse Practitioner track: Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Wisconsin.

Prospective students are highly encouraged to visit their state board’s website for the most updated and accurate information. Note that licensure eligibility determinations are ultimately determined by the appropriate state board that issues the credential to practice.

If you are unsure whether you are eligible for the MSN program based on your state of residence, please Schedule a Call with our Admissions Coordinator.

Transfer credits are not done automatically for graduate-level courses. If you feel you have completed a course that is equivalent, you will be required to submit a course syllabus for each course. Courses to be considered must be taken within the previous 5 years from a regionally accredited institution, and you must have earned a “B” or better in the course.

All requests must be approved by the respective department chair. An Admissions Coordinator can answer any additional questions you have about transferring credits.
