Master of Science Program

The master's program does not review basic nursing knowledge or develop basic nursing skills. Rather, it builds on your undergraduate nursing education and focuses on the application of advanced theory and clinical practice skills. The 45-47 credit hour Master of Science in Nursing Program is designed to prepare the baccalaureate registered nurse for advanced nursing practice.
