R.N. to MSN Bridge
The bridge program is intended for registered nurses with a non-nursing baccalaureate degree who are interested in pursuing a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). Interested applicants would need to fulfill undergraduate evening admission requirements.
Admission requirements include:
- completing an Evening and Weekend Program Application
- providing official copies of transcripts from nursing program, colleges, and/or universities
- providing a copy of current R.N. license
When accepted by the Admission Office, the student would need to successfully complete four courses at the undergraduate level:
- NUR 314 Health Assessment (portfolio or transfer credit option available)
- NUR 408 Nursing Research (online course)
- NUR 413 International Public Health Nursing (online course)
- Statistics (transfer credit option available)
After successful completion of the above courses with a GPA of 3.2 or above, the applicant would be able to apply to the MSN Program.
