Information for Out-of-State Online Master of Science Students
Due to certain states' restrictions on clinical placements for students who are enrolled in out-of-state online programs that require clinical placements, we are currently unable to accept Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or Master of Science in Nursing Education students who reside in Alabama, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Washington.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst operates online programs for out-of-state students under the terms and provisions of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement.
