Below is a hypothetical timeline showing a sequence of how a student could complete the MSN degree program at Thomas Edison State University. This sequence includes all courses for the MSN, including those that would be completed by students enrolled in the University’s RN to BSN program.
To demonstrate how you could progress through the program over a 36-month period, we are using the January term as your first term and move through the program during the four graduate nursing terms offered each year. Each term is 12 weeks.
This timeline is for informational purposes only and does not represent an actual program plan. Enrolled nursing students work with our nursing advisors to develop a program plan that maps out how a student will complete their degree and whether they can transfer previously earned graduate credits or earn graduate credit for what they know through prior learning assessment.
