MS in Nursing for Nurse Practitioners

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Nurse Practitioner Program Option provides nurse practitioners (NP) with a baccalaureate degree an opportunity to enhance their educational qualifications and complete their graduate degree in nursing without leaving their current employment or home community.

Because of the past diversity of nurse practitioner educational tracks many NP's obtained their licensure through certificate programming that did not provide a graduate degree component. In recognition of the nurse practitioner's prior educational learning the College has developed an accelerated graduate degree completion option for this target audience.

Student's complete core courses in advanced nursing content and process, finance, change management as well as content in evidence based nursing research. Twenty- five graduate credits are required for completion of the degree.
