MSUM School of Nursing Programs
Minnesota State University School of Nursing was established in 1976 to offer an RN-to-BSN program. Since then, the school has expanded to offer undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, and is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing (CCNE). The School of Nursing is an online program designed to prepare nurses for lifelong learning, caring service, and global citizenship.
RN to BSN Track
The RN to BSN track is for individuals who are licensed registered nurses (RN) with a diploma or associate degree and wish to earn a baccalaureate degree. All required RN to BSN nursing courses are completed online. Additional courses required for graduation such as liberal studies (Dragon Core) or upper division electives are available in a variety of formats.
MS Track
The MSUM Nursing Program offers a Master of Science (MS) with a major in nursing. This degree prepares registered nurses for practice as nursing educators. The program builds upon the general baccalaureate nursing competencies and provides specialty education necessary to meet the education needs of graduate nursing students. Graduates will be better able to contribute to the advancement of nursing practice and to collaborate in clinical practice and research partnerships in education and service settings.
