MSN Admissions Requirements
The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) curriculum is designed to prepare students as practitioners with selected specialties and evidence-based practice. Nurses in advanced practice are health care professionals committed to the delivery and study of high-quality clinical service. The program of study at YSN is viewed as preparation for a variety of leadership roles that will help shape the health care system of the future.
MSN students at Yale who enter as an RN move directly into a chosen area of clinical specialization with a curriculum that places emphasis on clinical competence and nursing scholarship. Each student is educated to excel in an expanded role in the specialty area of his or her choice. Employers recognize the superior preparation that YSN graduates receive and actively seek to recruit them.
