Eight weeks in length, these experiences are community based. Students submit applications to a faculty committee  in early October of their Junior year. Selections are based on a number of factors including advisor and faculty references that address academic attributes,the ability to adapt to new circumstances and the student's written statement of purpose for studying off-campus. Students are notified of their recommendation for the program in late October. Final acceptance, pending continued academic achievement, is determined the following May. If you are considering off-campus study, let your School of Nursing advisor know.
