Learning Outcomes
for a Lifetime
of Success
When you complete our BSN-MSN program, you’ll be equipped with the skills to enhance your nursing practice, advance your career, and pursue roles in leadership. See all of our MSN program outcomes.
Our BSN-MSN degree is a 35 credit hour program composed of 3 semesters of online core nursing coursework. The program prepares graduates for advanced generalist care and organizational and system leadership roles, participation in research, advanced holistic nursing care, as well as an understanding of graduate level nursing practices that will culminate in field experiences in the final semester capstone course.
Content and competencies relevant to leadership and advanced nursing are woven throughout the program for all students. Students elect a capstone concentration in leadership or advanced nursing that includes a field experience. Courses are offered asynchronously, have a direct-care clinical component, and offer virtual simulation.
The BSN-MSN program will prepare registered nurses with the knowledge and skills required to extend their practice options. Clinical practice experiences are based in the student’s state of residence and may require interviews, projects, and/or observation in healthcare facilities. Students are not required to complete supervised clinical hours.
