Master of Science in Nursing

Our Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) curriculum will help you grow into a frontline leader who oversees professional nurses' educational and clinical possibilities. The program is designed to be stimulating and challenging. You will emerge as a practitioner of evidence-based practice and inspire and manage change to better your patients and community.

MSN courses are taught by faculty with real-world nursing experience. All faculty maintain certification in their areas of expertise and hold joint clinical appointments in various healthcare systems. As your professors and mentors, they will provide the support and encouragement you need to achieve your advanced practice nursing goals.

Our clinical placement assistance program alleviates the stress of finding a clinical site so you can focus on your degree!

Your first semesters will be packed with training in leadership systems, advanced physiology, research, and ethical and legal practice.

Once you have chosen your professional track, you will dive into standard practices and applicable clinical practicums for the last few semesters to ensure you’re highly trained and knowledgeable in your field.

All MSN tracks can be completed online—with some external clinical components—right from where you live.
