Master of Science in Nursing (Graduate Entry)

The Graduate Entry option MS Nursing curriculum has four pillars: the pre-licensure curriculum, the graduate core curriculum, the specialty core courses and a clinical experience.

The core curriculum is designed to ensure that you attain mastery of a base of knowledge that is critical to all graduate-prepared nurses. The specialty core courses allow you to achieve mastery in a specialty area, preparing you for national certification in that specialty. In addition, the advanced clinical experience gives you the opportunity to practice at an advanced level. The program provides preceptors in a wide variety of geographic locations and clinical sites throughout Ohio. Students work with clinical preceptors in ambulatory primary care and inpatient settings. Clinical experience also provides the precepted hours necessary for certification. Students are required to complete two to four semesters of clinical coursework depending upon the specialty requirements. Students attending in the state of Ohio will be provided their clinical sites and preceptors.
