Admission Process
How to Apply
NTC Track applicants do not apply through a separate external application – instead, they complete a Declaration process through their NTC academic advisor.
Step 1: Meet with Your NTC Academic Advisor
Contact your NTC academic advisor to initiate a Declaration Request online. Your advisor will help confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements listed under Admission Requirements and Prerequisites.
Step 2: Submit Your Admission Video
All applicants are required to submit a 2-minute admission video uploaded to Slate. This is your opportunity to share your story in your own words – please do not use AI-generated responses.
The video must be no more than 2 minutes and should address the following questions:
- Describe two specific characteristics you possess that will make you a strong candidate for the Tulane Nursing program, with concrete examples from academic, work, or service experience.
- Briefly describe a specific situation in which you demonstrated leadership, including the context, your role, and those involved.
- Describe a specific strategy you have used in the past that will help you to manage the demands of this accelerated and academically rigorous program with the other demands in your life.
- Describe any past challenges that may have impacted your academic success, or are reflected in your transcripts, that would help the admission committee to make an informed decision.
Video appearance guidelines:
- Professional attire and grooming (no graphic t-shirts, athletic wear, or ball caps)
- Suitable lighting with your entire face visible
Step 3: Acknowledge Technical Standards
Applicants digitally sign that they have read, understand, and meet the Program of Nursing Technical Standards (available in the application and the Student Handbook). Tulane is committed to access for students with disabilities. For accommodation requests, contact the Goldman Center for Student Accessibility: goldman@tulane.edu | (504) 862-8433 | accessibility.tulane.edu
Step 4: Prior professional nursing program enrollment: Applicants who were enrolled in a previous professional nursing program must provide a letter of academic good standing from that school of nursing.
Step 5: English Language Proficiency (if applicable)
If your prior degree is from an institution outside the U.S. where English is not the primary language, you must submit a TOEFL score of 100+ or a Duolingo English Test score of 130+ (college code #6832). Exemption requests may be submitted.
Step 6: Coursework from Foreign Universities (if applicable)
Coursework from foreign universities must be evaluated by World Education Services (WES). All materials must be submitted in English. Credits from non-accredited institutions will not be accepted.
Step 7: Outstanding Prerequisite Coursework: Applicants can be considered for conditional admission based on meeting requirements for declaring nursing as a major. Admission is conditional until the applicant successfully completes and achieves the required GPA in the remaining courses.
After Acceptance — Before Classes Begin
Upon acceptance, students will receive a Welcome Letter with instructions for completing required items.
