RN TO MASTER OF SCIENCE
The School of Nursing offers an accelerated RN to MSN program that allows the RN to
move more quickly through the nursing requirements toward a professional career goal.
In this program, no BS degree is awarded. Instead, the student moves through a combination
of BS and MSN course work and is awarded only an MSN degree at completion of all program
requirements. Students choosing not to complete the accelerated RN to MSN program
may receive the BS degree in nursing only by completing the regular BS program requirements
(see undergraduate catalog).
