The length of time required to complete an MSN degree program varies widely depending on many factors, including the track and learning format you choose.
The MSN program offers two tracks: the BSN to MSN track for those entering with a BSN, and the RN to MSN track, in which RN students complete 26 quarter credits of undergraduate-level foundational courses before starting the MSN core courses.
In addition, the MSN program is offered in course-based and competency-based formats. Students in the course-based format follow a structured schedule with regular deadlines to make steady progress. In the competency-based format, students can progress at their pace and on their schedule.
