• Please Note: The LPN-BSN, RN-BSN, MSN, Post-Graduate Certificates, PhD, and DNP programs in the OU College of Nursing are hybrid and/or online programs. The F-1 visa regulations require in-person courses, and these programs do not meet those requirements.

International students are only eligible to apply for the ABSN and TBSN pathways as they have in-person requirements.
