MSN Program Details

The MSN program prepares advanced practice nurses in a variety of specialty areas. The program reflects the faculty's commitment to providing graduate education that is relevant to the dynamic contemporary practice environment. Graduates are prepared to apply for the appropriate Nurse Practitioner and/or Certified Nurse Midwife certification examinations. The curriculum consists of four components: theoretical core, clinical/functional core, specialty courses, and electives. Participative learning, multiple options for learning, and alternative teaching methods characterize the learning process.

Each of the specialties can be completed in 3-5 semesters of full-time study. Part-time study is available.
