Nursing (RN-BSN/MSN)
The RN-BSN/MSN Program offers Registered Nurses the opportunity to complete their BSN and MSN degrees via an accelerated process through the Distance Learning program. This program is available in two career options: Family Nurse Practitioner, and Nurse Educator. Students enrolling in this program need to declare their preference for the program prior to completing nursing courses. Depending on the career option chosen, this program requires 11 fewer semester hours of course work than would be required if both degrees were sought independently. In this unique program, students are required to take only the graduate level Professional Development I and II, Advanced Pathophysiology, and Scientific Inquiry courses, rather than the undergraduate courses providing similar content.Students who are enrolled in this program will have the option to “stop-out” and earn a BSN only if they desire. Also, all requirements for admission for the MSN program will be met prior to starting graduate level courses.
