Vanderbilt University Master of Science in Nursing (MS) PreSpecialty Entry - Spring 2026

Published

Hi everyone!

I wanted to start a thread for those of us applying to Vanderbilt's Master of Science in Nursing (MS) PreSpecialty Entry for Spring 2026 (non-nursing BS holders).

I submitted my application last week before the July 15 deadline. I'm applying for the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) track, but I'd love to hear from others pursuing different specialties too.

A few questions to get us started:

  • When did you apply, and for which specialty?
  • Have you received any updates or confirmation emails since submitting?
  • If you've been accepted already, what was the timeline like?

Looking forward to learning from and supporting each other through this process. GOOD LUCK!

Hey there! 
I applied for the MN program, but I thought the pre specialty track only starts in fall semesters. Were you able to apply for pre specialty?
