Adult Oncology Specialist

About

Our Adult Oncology Specialty Minor is designed for graduate nursing students who desire advanced training in oncology nursing from the top researchers and clinicians in the country.

Our faculty have extensive experience in oncology nursing. You'll interact with nationally recognized scientists and clinicians in the field of cancer care from the School of Nursing and the University of Pennsylvania Health System's Abramson Cancer Center. You are required to complete three courses, the last of which includes 240 clinical hours. These hours can be applied to meet the clinical hour requirements for certification. Students in the Health Leadership or Nursing administrative programs can choose to complete NURS 697 which offers content related to administering oncology programs in the health care setting.

Courses are online with synchronous and asynchronous components. In addition, students will meet on campus once per semester (2 days in the fall and 2 days in the spring) for seminars, high-fidelity simulations, and networking with experts in the field of oncology and nursing.

Entry Requirements

Our admission decisions are made prior to the announcement of results for many national examinations (such as the A Levels or French Baccalaureate), but applicants are expected to be enrolled in programs that prepare them for these examinations. If you are enrolled in a program that will not release external examination results prior to our application deadlines, you must request that your school send us predictions of external examination results along with your grades.

Where national examinations are required for admission to a pre-university program (such as the IGCSE or the SPM), you should have received high marks on these examinations and should present certified copies of the results with your Penn application.

Students in our diverse global community have a wide range of passions, perspectives, and talents. Beyond academics, we would like to learn about your non-scholarly interests, extracurricular activities, and community service (though we recognize that patterns for non-academic involvement vary from country to country).
