RN-to-MSN

RN-to-MSN programs are for Registered Nurses who have their Associate Degree in Nursing and would like to work toward their MSN immediately after successful completion of the BSN degree program. The RN-to-MSN program ensures that students don't experience overlap between their BSN and MSN courses, and makes sure they receive advanced placement credit for their BSN coursework.

The RN-to-MSN program allows the RN to complete nursing classes, research, and clinical work for their BSN and MSN simultaneously, shortening the average amount of time from what it would take if each degree was earned separately.*

Upon successful completion, graduates receive their MSN.
