Master of Science Program for Non-Nursing Graduates

The master’s program for non-nursing graduates is designed for those individuals who hold baccalaureate degrees in fields other than nursing and who wish to become nurses. The program builds upon the student’s broad educational preparation and provides an intense, accelerated and specialized nursing curriculum to meet the student’s career goals. Students complete the nursing requirements and meet the BSN program objectives in an intense 15-month, pre-MSN phase and progress to graduate study. Students are then prepared in the MSN program for roles as health care systems leaders, clinical nurse leaders or advanced practice nurses in: adult, older adult, children or nurse-midwifery.
