How to Apply to Graduate Nursing at Coppin
Graduate admission is a little different from the undergraduate admissions process. Any student applying to our master's, post-master's, or doctorate program must submit all application materials to the School of Graduate Studies (SGS).
Required Application Materials
- Coppin State University online application (select graduate studies)
- Application fee
- 3 letters of recommendation
- Copy of current license to practice nursing
- Typed personal essay of your goals and objectives (also called Statement of Intent)
- Proof of satisfactory completion of a course in elementary statistics and/or nursing research
- Proof of satisfactory completion of a course in physical assessment in the last 5 years, or proof of a successful challenge exam
- International students must also submit official English proficiency scores. Minimum score is 550.
Next Steps
Your next step after applying is to contact the School of Graduate Studies to schedule a meeting with a graduate faculty member. We recommend all applying students keep copies of all documentation submitted for admission consideration.
