raduate students in the Marjorie K. Unterberg School of Nursing and Health Studies can choose from degree programs and certificates that will appeal to nurses at varying levels of education and career experience.

As the demand for highly educated nurses continues to increase, nurses are reporting earning higher salaries in the past year and more than they did five years ago, according to the latest salary survey from Minority Nurse.

The RN to MSN Direct program is designed to allow associate nurses to more quickly attain a Master of Science in Nursing degree. Registered nurses who presently hold an associate degree or diploma in nursing will be able to earn an MSN degree without earning a baccalaureate degree.
