MSN Program

Broaden your career options with an accredited online MSN

You’re a registered nurse with a financially rewarding and personally fulfilling career, but you’re still looking for more. Earning your M.S. in Nursing (MSN) is your gateway to more career opportunities - advanced practice, administration or even teaching. While the average salary for an MSN varies with specialization and work environment, the demand for advanced practice nurses remains high as a result of the aging population and a greater focus on preventative care.
