Applicants must first apply and be accepted to Troy University. You may receive an application to TROY by contacting the Dothan Admissions Office at (334) 983-6556, ext. 21229, or you may apply online at troy.edu/admissions.

Applicants are admitted once per academic year in each Fall semester. Applications must be complete or will not be considered.

Applicants are required to have previously completed specific general education coursework prior to applying for the AMSN program. Required courses include (within the past 7 years): Anatomy & Physiology I with lab, Anatomy & Physiology II with lab, Human Growth and Development or Developmental Psychology, Microbiology with lab, Nutrition, and Statistics.

Applicants must submit an admission essay along with the application and fee. The essay will provide an opportunity to explain your interest in becoming a nurse and how you can be successful in an accelerated (fast-paced) program of study. Consider describing the qualities that you possess that would make you a good nurse and explain why. You may also want to explain valued experiences you may have had that relate to nursing. The essay is not meant to be a listing of accomplishments or a record of your participation in activities. Rather, this is your opportunity to address the admission committee directly and to let us know more about you as an individual. The essay should be maximum two pages typed, double-spaced in Times New Roman, 12 Font. Essays will be reviewed for content, grammar, punctuation, and logical flow of ideas.

Applicants must submit unofficial transcripts from all colleges and universities including Troy University. It is the student's responsibility to upload ALL unofficial transcripts to the AMSN application.

Applicants will be required to participate in an in-person or virtual interview as part of the admission process. The interview aids the Admission Committee in assessing the applicants' suitability for the accelerated nature of the program. Applicants will be assessed for their ability to handle stress, communication skills, and qualities beyond academic qualifications.

Applications must be accompanied by a $20.00 Application Fee. Applicants may submit their fee by telephone. No cash or checks will be accepted. Payments may be made by calling the Dothan Campus Student Financial Services at (334) 983-6556, ext. 21212 or 21210.

Applicants will be notified by email of their admission as soon as possible. No one can verbally promise you a space, or acceptance into the AMSN Program. Official letters will be emailed as soon as possible from the TROY Admissions and Progression Committee. Unsuccessful candidates must reapply if they desire consideration for a future class.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE NURSING OFFICE for information regarding your admission status UNLESS you have not received a letter from the Admissions and Progression Committee by June 1.
