RN to MS Program

Wilkes University’s RN to MS program speeds the path to an advanced nursing degree. The master’s of science degree with a nursing major is designed for experienced registered nurses ready to rise to the next level. Your personal career goals determine your specific course of study. Flexible scheduling allows you to complete this advanced practice program while employed. Full-time study is also available.

 

Career Path

Prepare for a career in advanced practice nursing with a concentration in nursing management, education, gerontology or psychiatric/mental health. The multidisciplinary program provides a foundation for doctoral studies in nursing or continued professional development. Each student’s program will be tailored to meet individual professional goals and program requirements.

 

Concentrate studies in:

  • Nursing education
  • Nursing management
  • Gerontological nursing
  • Psychiatric/mental health nursing

 

Admission requirements:

  • graduation from an accredited program in nursing
  • licensure as a registered nurse 
  • one year of clinical experience prior to clinical courses
  • GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale from original program
  • statement of professional goals
  • two letters of recommendation
  • personal interview

 

When a student enrolls as an RN with an associate degree or diploma, the RN to MS program reduces the number of required baccalaureate-level courses.
