Degree Seeking Student
If you’ve earned your bachelor’s degree in nursing and want to continue studying at the undergraduate or graduate level—or a combination of both—but you don’t intend on pursuing a master’s degree, you can apply to be a Degree Seeking Student. (You'll need your StarID to login.)
Graduate Seeking Students may take up to 12 graduate-level credits before being formally admitted to their desired graduate program. These credits can also be applied toward graduation requirements.
In other words, before you’re admitted into WSU and the Department of Graduate Nursing, you may apply to any of our Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and post-graduate certificate programs as a Degree Seeking Student.
Get started as a Degree Seeking Student by applying to WSU's School of Graduate Studies.
