Introduction
The Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) program prepares nurses for roles as family nurse practitioners (FNPs) and nurse educators (NE) in healthcare or academic settings. MSN graduates formulate clinical, administrative, or policy decisions to promote health among patients, families, or communities along the continuum of wellness and illness. A bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN) from an accredited college or university is required, prior to beginning the program. Applicants must have maintained a GPA of 3.0 or better in baccalaureate nursing coursework.
Graduates may advance to higher levels of education through doctoral programs. Students choose one of two cognates as their substantive area of study: NE or FNP. The courses are delivered via an online format, allowing students to reside in their home communities. However, students may choose to travel for clinical rotations, objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs), or graduate program student intensives (GPSIs).
