Thinking of becoming a nurse? Confused with all of the programs that are out there today? Why settle for another baccalaureate degree when, in nearly the same amount of time, you can earn a graduate degree?
Our Graduate Entry Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program for baccalaureate-prepared college graduates begins with an on-site, accelerated (16 month-4 semester) program. Upon completion of this "pre-licensure" component, students receive the Certificate of Professional Nursing, which qualifies them to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam to become a registered nurse.
The student then studies an advanced practice nursing curriculum in our MSN Program. Upon successful completion of this program, the student is awarded the MSN degree and is qualified to take the advanced practice certification exam in their specialty.
Students can take the DNP doctoral-level courses concurrently with the MSN curriculum or after completing the MSN. They may also apply for the PhD Program after completing the MSN. Many MSN courses and all of the DNP doctoral level courses are taught in our user-friendly intensive course format and other MSN courses are taught in a web-based format. Our admissions advisors are more than happy to help you chart your course to a rewarding career in nursing.
Classes for the pre-RN licensure curriculum begin in the fall semester only. May 1 is the deadline for applications for enrollment in the following fall semester.
