Accelerated MSN For RNS Without A Bachelor's Degree

This program is offered for the nurse educator and nurse administrator specializations only.

The accelerated RN-MSN degree completion program provides additional education to RNs who received their initial nursing preparation in diploma and ADN programs and do not have a bachelor's degree out of field. This program builds on previous learning, prepares nurses for a higher level of nursing practice, and provides RNs with the education necessary to move forward in their nursing careers. This program takes two years and one semester to complete. The baccalaureate level content missing from diploma and ADN programs is built into the front-end of this program. Mastery of this upper level basic nursing content is necessary for students to move on to graduate study. Upon completion, the master's degree is earned.
