MA - Nursing

Program Description:

Approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing, and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, the Master of Nursing (MN) is a graduate entry-level degree into the profession of nursing for individuals who already hold a non-nursing baccalaureate degree. The program is designed to prepare the student at a higher level than a traditional BSN program, by offering courses that emphasize research, evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, and theoretical perspectives in nursing. Students complete the program in 15 months, beginning in May of one year, and graduating in August of the following year. Sixteen credit hours are taken in each of the four semesters, which include classroom and clinical learning activities. Upon completion of NUR 508/508A, students apply and take the National Council for Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to become licensed to practice as a registered nurse.

Eligibility Requirements:

Submission of one-page, typewritten statement of goals; successful check of criminal background; completion of interview with chairperson or nursing program director.
