Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs build upon the student’s baccalaureate nursing education and professional experience. The Master of Science in Nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

The College of Nursing also offers admission to its master’s degree programs in nursing to Registered Nurses who have completed an AS in Nursing or diploma nursing program and have bachelor’s degrees in fields other than nursing. These students will need to take 9 credits of undergraduate upper-division coursework as the prerequisite for graduate study in nursing.

The goal of the Master of Science in Nursing program is to prepare advanced practice nurses, nurse educators, and nursing leaders and managers to assume leadership positions in a variety of healthcare settings. Graduates of these programs are eligible to sit for national certification examinations in their respective specialties.

The College of Nursing makes earning a nursing degree flexible, convenient, and affordable with regional campuses and online programs. You can attend face-to-face “lock-step” programs in Orlando and on select regional campuses—and registered nurses (R.N.) can earn bachelor’s, master’s, Ph.D., and select DNP degrees online.
