M.S.N. for A.D.N. R.N.s with non-nursing degrees

The College of Nursing developed this program of study for nurses who have associate degrees in nursing and baccalaureate or higher degrees in disciplines other than nursing.

This program is designed for non-nursing graduates — individuals who hold baccalaureate degrees in fields other than nursing. The program builds upon the student's broad educational preparation and provides an intense, accelerated and specialized nursing curriculum to meet the student's career goals. Students then complete the M.S.N. requirements in a specialty area.

M.B.A./M.S.N.

The joint M.B.A./M.S.N. program leads to a master of science in nursing with a specialization in health care systems leadership and M.B.A. degree. The programs cover the functional areas of business and prepare nurses for roles in nursing administration.
