Program Details
The online RN to MSN degree program is structured so that students first complete all RN to BSN requirements, along with select graduate-level courses that will apply toward their MSN degree. Once all undergraduate requirements are met, students transition from the RN to BSN curriculum and follow their own custom-designed RN to MSN degree plans. At the completion of the RN to MSN program, many students elect to complete an additional 21-29 credit hours in a specialty area:
- Nursing Health Care Administration
- Nursing Education
- Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
- Family Nurse Practitioner
