Graduate Programs Prerequisites
Different graduate programs at the UVa School of Nursing have different course prerequisites. These courses need to be completed before a student can enroll in classes; these do not need to be complete by the time you apply.
Most of these prerequisite courses can be satisfied at local community colleges. Below is a list of several frequently-taken courses at local colleges and universities that meet requirements for the various graduate programs. This list is not exhaustive; please contact the Clay Hysell at hysell@virginia.edu if you wish to take a class that is not on this list.

NOTE:** To satisfy the statistics requirement, you need to receive a grade of B or better. We strongly recommend that you do not wait until the summer before you enroll to take this admissions prerequisite. We need to have the final transcript before you can be permitted to enroll or select classes.
DNP and PhD applicants need to take an intermediate-level statistics class in which you will be using SAS or SPSS.
