The MSN program is designed to develop and enhance the knowledge and skills of registered nurses. It is also designed for those nurses who want to pursue more advanced positions in today's challenging health care environment. The program blends nursing theory with advanced practice concepts necessary to successfully work within the structure, culture, and mission of any size health care organization or educational setting.
Classes meet in formal session once each week for four hours.
Additional time is required outside of class for homework, study group meetings, and project activities. The MSN program is 39 credits. The course sequence will be completed in the order determined by the University. All course work must be completed satisfactorily or be repeated. The Nursing Practicum allows students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the program.
