Program Description

The Master of Science in Nursing prepares registered nurses for advanced clinical practice roles, nursing leadership, and clinical research.

The MSN program's theme is Discovery of Self, Transformation in Others, and Innovation in Systems.

The MSN degree has two tracks: Leadership and Clinical Research. These two tracks share seven core courses that provide a solid foundation for graduate-level education. Applicants must be registered nurses who have earned the Bachelor of Sciences in Nursing (BSN). Interested students who have not earned the BSN are encouraged to apply to our RN-BSN program.

The Louise Harkey School of Nursing's mission is to cultivate caring nurse professionals through exemplary education and lifelong learning promotion.
