We prepare BSN graduates for beginning practice and leadership in nursing, MSN graduates for opportunities in advanced practice (clinical nurse specialist or nurse practitioners), education and leadership, DNP graduates for leadership in clinical settings and PhD graduates for leadership in research, education and administration.
