Master of Nursing (MN)
An accelerated, sixteen-month master’s that brings a non-nursing graduate to registered-nurse licensure and a master’s degree. It is a complete degree in its own right: you graduate ready to practice as a registered nurse, and because you hold a master’s, you are also positioned to teach or pursue future doctoral training.
