The Master of Science in Nursing (MS) program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced practice roles. Our graduates are prepared to formulate clinical, administrative or policy decisions to promote health with clients experiencing wellness, acute or chronic illness, and to develop, manage, and evaluate the care within communities and health care systems.
Our program is structured to provide a foundation for career paths for future leaders in advanced nursing practice. This program is dually accredited by the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
The MS program offers students a choice in course offerings. We offer most required courses in both on-line and classroom formats ranging from one day a week on campus to intensive sessions of 1-3 days. Over a half of our MS courses are available online, and two MS Specialty Options are offered completely online: Public Health and Health Care Informatics.
