msc in Nursing: BSN to DNP Program

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program will prepare you as an advanced practice nurse and confident leader in the nursing field. In this master's in nursing program, you'll seek to transform the health of your community through reflection and healing interaction with individuals and organizations. Ursuline College MSN program graduates are leaders in nursing and function in both independent and interdependent roles as colleagues of other health care professionals in a variety of settings.

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is an advanced-level, terminal degree for MSN graduates who wish to become influential in nursing practice, administration, or education. The program will help you develop as an innovative nurse leader who uses evidence-based practice to optimize health care delivery. As a graduate of Ursuline's online DNP program, you will be prepared for roles in direct or indirect systems-focused care.

The goal of the Doctor of Nursing Practice, in addition to providing excellent care to patients, is to optimize health care delivery through effective systems transformation, or planned change. As a DNP degree holder, you will plan and implement your practice with individuals and populations, integrating the spiritual, biological, social, psychological and cultural factors that influence human responses to health and illness.
