MS Nursing Program Admission Requirements
The streamlined RN/MS curriculum allows you to
earn your master's degree without first completing
the requirements for a bachelor's degree in nursing.
You will first apply to UND's
undergraduate nursing program after completing
at least 45 credits of prerequisite coursework.
To be admitted into the RN/MS Program, you must
have:
- An associate degree in nursing from
a regionally accredited institution
- Minimum GPA of 3.0 in undergraduate
coursework
- Successful completion of prerequisite
coursework in Communication; Social Science;
and Math, Science, and Support Courses (see RN/MS
Program of Study link)
- Current, unencumbered RN license
in the United States
- Minimum of 1 year of experience as
a registered nurse (recommended)
- An interview
Note: If
you do not meet these admission standards, you
may be admitted on a provisional basis with continued
enrollment contingent on successful completion
of pr-requisite coursework and/or successful
performance in the program.
Then, after successfully completing 20 credits
of nursing coursework at the baccalaureate level,
you are eligible to apply to
the UND Graduate School for entry
into one of the master's specializations.
