GRE'S preferred. School DI Code:0767.
Application packets must be complete, in one mailing, and mailed to:
Independence Health System
Latrobe Hospital
One Mellon Way
Latrobe, PA 15650
All application packets must be received by 3 p.m. on the January 15th deadline date the year prior to program start to be eligible for consideration. Documents sent separately will not be accepted.
Applicants need only to apply to Independence Health System; they do not need to apply to Saint Vincent College. If accepted into the program, Excela Health School of Anesthesia will initiate the enrollment process with Saint Vincent College.
All applicants will be considered without regard to race, gender, color, ethnicity, creed, marital status, age, sexual orientation, disability, or any other factor protected by law. After review of the applicant's completed file, he/she may be selected for a personal interview by the Admissions Committee. Independence Health System reserves the right to interview only those candidates who show potential to succeed. Selection will be made based on academic and clinical qualifications and recommendations of the admission interviewers.
If accepted, the school will perform pre-admission and random drug screenings throughout the program.
Our curriculum is linear and builds from preceding classes, therefore, we do not accept any transfer credits nor award advanced standing for previous work accomplished, even if this work was done in another nurse anesthesia program.
Financial aid may be sought through various state and federal channels. The Financial Aid Office at Saint Vincent College can provide additional information. They can be reached at 724-537-4540 or 1-800-782-5549.
