Master of Science in der Krankenpflege (MSN)

You already have a passion for nursing. Now you’re ready to turn that devotion into deeper expertise and visionary leadership. Whether you want to hone your skills in caring for geriatric patients or focus on organizational outcomes, we see your potential—and we nurture it. As leaders in graduate nursing education for over 40 years, we never forget the importance of compassion toward our patients and toward one another. We invite you to join us as we advance nursing on all its various fronts, together.

Built upon the baccalaureate degree with an upper-division focus in nursing, our Master of Science in Nursing Program offers three tracks: Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist, Executive Nurse Leader, and Nursing Informatics. Students also have the option to pursue a dual track: Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist/ Executive Nurse Leader.

No one belongs here more than you.
