The RN-BSN-MSN track is an accelerated program of study available to registered nurses seeking completion of both the baccalaureate (BSN) and masters degree in nursing (MSN). The RN-BSN-MSN program is an articulated plan that includes two bridge courses within the baccalaureate curriculum; and allows the student to complete graduate-level nursing courses while enrolled in the RN-BSN program.
During the RN-BSN-MSN program, the BSN degree is conferred upon successful completion of the RN-BSN required curriculum and residency credits. The student then completes the master’s program in a selected specialization track to meet degree requirements for the MSN. Students completing the RN-BSN-MSN track will be awarded two degrees – a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) and a master of science in nursing (MSN).
Our DNP program is designed with specialization tracks in family nurse practitioner, adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner, and Health Systems Innovation and Leadership.
