The School of Nursing is offering a direct admission opportunity to all currently enrolled BSN nursing students. With a few minor requirements, all BSN graduates can secure admission into the School of Nursing’s Master of Science in Nursing program to further their career potential.

BSN graduates must have a 3.00 GPA upon competition of their existing program as well as a valid Registered Nurse license to meet the minimum requirements. No additional documentation will be required. Additionally, the application fee will be waived, and admission will be guaranteed. The MSN program is entirely online and boasts both a 100% clinical placement and 100% board pass rate. 

“We’re determined to continue confronting nursing shortages throughout the nation,” said Elizabeth Speakman, Senior Associate Dean and Chief Executive Nurse for the School of Nursing. “By securing admission for our current and future BSN graduate students, we ensure a consistent pipeline of enhanced talent to introduce into the workforce for years to come.”
