Master of Science in Nursing

Welcome to the MSN Program! The MSN Nurse Practitioner Graduate Program is for the registered nurse with a baccalaureate degree who desires advanced education in nursing.

Admission to the MSN Program is competitive and enrollment is limited. Full-time primary care nurse practitioner students can complete their plan of study in six semesters with summer admission. Part-time students' program completion time will vary based on required prerequisites and how part-time the student plans to be. All graduate work towards a graduate degree must be completed within a period of 5 calendar years from enrollment into the first graduate course.

Auburn University College of Nursing is on the move! We are increasing the numbers of students and faculty dramatically. We moved into our new home in the summer of 2017. Newly designed and equipped simulation labs offer students and faculty the most up-to-date learning environments available. A new emphasis on interdisciplinary research and practice is creating exciting partnerships and preparing students for 21st-century health care delivery. New programs and concentrations are in development that will redefine our mission and our impact across the state, the region, and the country.

Auburn is a special place, where students grow personally and professionally through their learning partnership with an excellent and dedicated faculty. In addition to the technical skills necessary to provide safe care, students here develop communication, critical thinking, and decision-making skills that will enable them to lead care teams in the future.
