Master of Science in Nursing
This Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is designed for baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses. It provides students with advanced nursing knowledge through theory and research. The MSN program prepares graduates for advanced nursing practice in today's dynamic health care environment. The 39-semester credit curriculum (with a 60-hour clinical practicum) is reality based, application oriented, and develops essential skills in leadership. Admission requires you to have a valid current U.S. RN license and demonstrate three years full-time RN work experience. You must also hold a BSN degree or baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Additional requirements must be met prior to official admission. RNs with a bachelor's degree in an area other than nursing have the opportunity to earn a MSN degree through our RN to MSN Bridge Program. With this program, RNs can complete three courses at the BSN level and then move directly into the Master of Science in Nursing curriculum.
Requirements
This program requires a bachelors degree or international equivalent, 2.5 GPA or better, three years of relevant work experience and a current registered nurse (RN) license in the United States.
