MS in Nursing

The Master of Science (Nursing), or MS(N) degree program, prepares nurses with post-baccalaureate or post-graduate degrees for nurse educators, nurse leaders, and advanced practice nurses. Students may seamlessly progress into the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program following MS degree completion.

Why is our Master of Science in Nursing program a good choice for nurses? We provide an online graduate orientation tailored to provide students the tools they need for success. All courses are delivered in a flexible online format to meet the needs of working professionals. Students have the choice to be enrolled part-time or full-time to meet their personal/professional goals. All courses are taught by experienced online nurse educators, nurse leaders, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners.
