Accepts F-1
Whether the program meaningfully admits international students and can support required clinical placements.
Programs
A verified shortlist, not a school directory.
Most accelerated and second-degree BSN programs in the United States do not admit international students on F-1 visas. The programs that do are specific, conditional, and easy to misunderstand.
This page shows how NurseNorth evaluates the list: visa fit, prerequisite rules, tuition pressure, clinical placement conditions, and the timing that can quietly decide whether an application is realistic.
Verification status: public rows are added only after direct research and policy review.
How to Read This
The details matter more than the school name.
Foreign prerequisites
Whether prerequisite coursework taken outside the United States is considered, rejected, or limited by recency rules.
Approx. tuition
Total program tuition in U.S. dollars, before living costs, evaluation fees, visa costs, health insurance, and travel.
Notable rules
English requirements, U.S. course minimums, documentation rules, clinical onboarding limits, and intake timing.
The List
Verified programs.
Use this area to search and sort the public research list as rows are released. We keep it deliberately narrow because inaccurate program data wastes months.

Why Publish This
The list is useful. The work behind the list is where outcomes change.
Fit is personal
A program can accept international students and still be wrong for your degree history, finances, prerequisite age, or intake timeline.
Policies shift
Clinical placement rules, prerequisite requirements, and international admissions practices can change without much public warning.
Timing matters
CGFNS evaluation, prerequisite retakes, recommendation letters, interviews, and visa preparation have to be sequenced early.
The stakes are high
With total costs commonly landing around $80-150k+, a realistic school list is a financial decision, not just an admissions decision.
What We Check
A program has to work on paper before it belongs on your list.
Prerequisites and degree history
We map your previous coursework against each program's rules, including age limits, U.S. course requirements, labs, and evaluation needs.
Total cost and proof of funds
Tuition is only one part. We also consider living costs, health insurance, evaluation fees, NCLEX preparation, and visa evidence.
Application, visa, and arrival runway
The right school at the wrong intake can still fail. We build plans around realistic dates, not optimistic assumptions.
