RN
to Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The RN to BSN program is designed to develop the professional
knowledge and skills of working registered nurses. The curriculum
is built upon a foundation of biological, physical, and social
sciences which contribute to the science of nursing. The liberal
arts components promote the development of the intellectual,
social, and cultural aspects of the professional nurse.
The program
enhances the foundation in the biological, physical, and social
sciences through an instructional program with behavioral
objectives that concentrate on the development of the nurse's
role as caregiver, teacher, and manager of care. Utilizing
a self-care framework, working registered nurses are prepared
as generalists who are able to apply professional skills and
knowledge to nursing, clients, and health care systems.
Master
of Science in Nursing
This NLNAC-accredited Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program
is designed for baccalaureate prepared registered nurses.
It provides students with advanced nursing knowledge through
theory and research.
The MSN
program prepares graduates for advanced nursing practice in
today's dynamic health care environment. The 39-semester credit
curriculum (with a 60-hour clinical practicum) is reality
based, application oriented, and develops essential skills
in leadership.
Admission
requires you to have a valid current U.S. RN license and demonstrate
three years full-time RN work experience. You must also hold
a BSN degree or baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited
college or university. Additional requirements must be met
prior to official admission. RNs with a bachelor's degree
in an area other than nursing have the opportunity to earn
a MSN degree through our RN to MSN Bridge Program. With this
program, RNs can complete three courses at the BSN level and
then move directly into the Master of Science in Nursing curriculum.
The Bachelor
of Science in Nursing and the Master of Science in Nursing
Programs are accredited by the National League for Nursing
Accrediting Commission.

health care finance, quality and data base management, health
care infrastructure, and health care strategic management.
Master
of Health Administration
The Master of Health Administration program prepares leaders
