Program Overview

The Direct Entry MSN program prepares non-nursing bachelor's degree holders to become Registered Nurses (RNs) through the NCLEX-RN exam. While not required for RN licensure, an MSN degree provides a competitive advantage for career advancement and opens doors to graduate-level nursing pathways, including post-master's certificate programs in various specialties. By pursuing the MSN pathway from the outset, students can expedite their journey to advanced practice nursing and minimize their time and cost investment.
