The Graduate Nursing Program

The graduate nursing program educates professional nurses for advanced practice in hospitals, community health settings, nursing homes, and other health-related agencies.

The program combines core and research courses. Students choose one of two majors: nurse administered anesthesia, which prepares nurses for advanced practice in nursing care and write for the certification examination for certified registered nurse anesthetists; or nursing administration, which prepares nurses for first-line management as administrators in a range of health care settings. Our graduate program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs.

Admission
Admission to the MSN program is coordinated through the graduate admissions office. Follow the regular admission procedures for graduate programs. If you have academic questions, feel free to contact us.

Full- and part-time
Degree requirements can be met on a full-time or part-time basis, with the exception of the anesthesia internship, which must be completed on a full-time basis. Graduation requirements for both of the concentrations must be completed within five years of enrollment.
