Azusa Pacific University ELM Spring 2017

Got it! The reason why I asked that question is because I've been accepted to Western MSNE program and I am debating between western and azusa. Western is 3 years, but its only for the MSN portion, no FNP. Azusa is also more cheaper. Anyways, thank you so much for the explanation GCNorthRim!

Oh wow! I am not very familiar with Western. When I was trying to find the right program I picked Azusa because they offer so many extras like Nurse Educator and Nurse Administrator by just completing the electives. Also there is a year in-between the BSN and the start of the MSN they count in there because you have to have a certain amount of clinical hours before you can qualify for the FNP exam.

I looked at other programs like the ones at Western and UCLA, but it just seemed like Azusa had more to offer. I liked the layout of their program, the fact that we earn a BSN and MSN, that we need to work as an RN during the masters portion, and that we take all of the required courses to sit for the FNP certification exam. There's just so many pros and like zero cons for me haha. And Western is soooooo much more expensive....I was shocked to see how much cheaper Azusa was.

Has anyone heard anything for the Azusa or IE campus? I was told we would hear around the 14th or 15th. It sounds like some of you have heard back for the SD campus so I'm wondering what to expect. Thanks!

Hi BR89 :) the Azusa campus emailed me letting me know that I was accepted into the Summer 2017 cohort (instead of spring) around a week ago. The applicants who were not waitlisted for the Azusa campus will be hearing a decision in the mail within the next two weeks.

Thanks briforsure! So basically if you haven't heard, you're either accepted or rejected at this point? It sounds like most people are finding out by receiving that email with an apu login. Is that different for the azusa campus? They send mail letters instead? Congrats by the way!!

Thank you :) and yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. They told me in the interview as well that we would be notified by mail, but I've also read that some people get an email beforehand with login credentials for the APU site and that lets them know that they've been accepted. I haven't reviewed that email though :)

Ok good to know! Hopefully I'll hear something soon either way.

Hey BR89!Though this info might help, I spoke with the Monrovia Director yesterday and everyone who has been accepted into the Monrovia campus has been emailed. I do not know about the IE campus. He did say that they only accept 20 people and then if those 20 decide not to go they extend additional acceptances. I'll be going to Monrovia Spring 2017, very excited!

Congratulations dsuzuki! I'm anxious to start already haha. I'm so excited!

BR89 · May 17, 2016

professionalgal have you heard from APU at all?

Thanks Bri! Hey BR89! FYI if you call Anthony Persad at the Monrovia Campus he could let you know your status. Apparently 6 guys were accepted so that is a good sign : ) for you!
