International Student Applicants

United Nursing College does not enroll international students. This means students must be a legal resident of the United States. Students in United States on a visa are not eligible for enrollment. The institution does not issue Form I-20, does not participate in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), and does not provide visa sponsorship or immigration services.

Legal residents of the United States who have completed education outside of the United States or its territories may be considered for admission, provided they meet all institutional and program-specific admission requirements. Applicants with international education must comply with the institution’s requirements for foreign credential evaluation as outlined in the Credit Award Policy.

All instruction at United Nursing College is delivered in English. The institution does not provide English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction and does not admit applicants for the purpose of English language training. Applicants must be able to participate in instruction delivered in English.
