What you pay at University of Rochester (School of Nursing) depends on the pathway you choose and the transfer credit you bring in. ScrubScope routes your inquiry to University of Rochester (School of Nursing) rather than quoting a price, so confirm current tuition and fees directly with the school before you apply.
No. ScrubScope passes your details to the admissions office at University of Rochester (School of Nursing), which makes every admissions and financial-aid decision. We are a research and referral site, not a decision-maker.
