Statistics is a standard prerequisite for graduate research courses in nursing, so most MSN applicants will need that knowledge. Check with the master’s programs you are interested in, however, to see whether you can take statistics concurrently with your MSN courses.
If you meet all other admission requirements for Lamar University’s online MSN in Nursing Education but don’t have a statistics course, you can still apply. You’ll need to take it prior to enrolling in MSNC 5311, Nursing Research, however.
