These sessions are offered monthly for each program track.

Sessions begin promptly at the published start time and last approximately one hour. Information sessions are conducted in group format and are facilitated by the School of Nursing academic adviser for the program. At this session, you will learn about the Oakland University admission criteria and process, School of Nursing admission criteria and process, and program overview of the curriculum. Individual questions will be answered at the end of the session if time remains.
