MSN Outcomes and Competencies

MSN Degree Program

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree program is designed for experienced nurses with a BSN degree who are independent learners and who want the convenience and flexibility an online program can offer.

Two years experience in nursing is recommended and a BSN degree from an accredited program is required.
