Within the regular undergraduate program, we recognize the unique abilities and needs of the registered nurse student. This program of study offers flexible options and opportunities for part-time study. This program focuses on preparation for advanced nursing practice. The MSN program can be completed in sixteen months.
Opportunities are also available for students who prefer a slower pace.
Upon completing requirements for the MSN with specialization in the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner or Family Nurse Practitioner tracks, graduates will be eligible to take national certification examinations. This two semester plus one Summer program provides nurses who already hold Master's degrees in nursing with the skills and knowledge to become nurse practitioners. After completing coursework, students are eligible to sit for national certification examinations. For more information on this program, contact the Nursing Office of Student Affairs.
