Graduates from this program earn their BSN and are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN to gain their RN licensure.

Master’s Entry

The Master of Science Entry into Nursing Practice is a new opportunity to become an entry-level RN while also earning your Master of Science in Nursing. This graduate program is ideal for anyone looking to change their career to nursing while building on their own education.

More comprehensive than a postbaccalaureate nursing degree, this 64-credit, two-year program is designed for students with a bachelor’s degree or above in a discipline other than nursing. Students are prepared at the graduate level to meet workforce demands by utilizing advanced nursing knowledge of evidence-based practice, leadership and systems theory.
