Consistent with the Bellarmine goal to prepare leaders for our society, graduate students in nursing will be able to effect change within health care. The graduate program leading to the MSN builds on the baccalaureate degree. The curriculum is designed to meet the individual needs of students, while maintaining a sound academic program in nursing. The program is designed for part-time study. A plan is also available for full-time study. Registered Nurses with a bachelor’s degree in an area other than nursing may be admitted to the MSN program after satisfactorily completing four undergraduate prerequisite courses and validating the terminal outcomes of the baccalaureate nursing program. |
