The Master of Science Degree in Nursing (MSN) program offers two specialized tracks: administration and education.

Our expert faculty, interactive online courses and small class sizes will help hone your professional communication and collaboration skills to improve health care outcomes. Our curriculum includes specialty courses related to your chosen track, and core courses in evidence-based practice, leadership, nursing informatics, and health care policy.

Our part-time, blended-course format allows you to work while earning your degree. Students enroll in two, 10-week courses simultaneously each semester. During the semester, each course meets three to four times on campus, with the remainder of classes delivered online. The MSN program begins in the fall, and is offered over 6 semesters, with summers off.

The MSN incorporates a practicum experience and an integrative project that allows you to apply coursework learning by collaborating with experts in healthcare organizations.
