Important Update for Graduate Nursing Applicants:

All graduate nursing applications at Marymount University are reviewed exclusively through NursingCAS. To apply, you must submit your application through the NursingCAS system.
We strongly encourage you to create your account and get started early, as it typically takes NursingCAS at least two weeks to verify an application once it has been submitted. Beginning the process early will give you plenty of time to gather and upload all required materials.
