Welcome to the Master of Nursing Program Homepage

The University of Minnesota Board of Regents recently authorized the School of Nursing to offer a Master of Nursing (MN) degree. This program is for people who have a bachelor's degree (or higher) but are not yet nurses. The program is an intensive, full-time, 16-month program leading to eligibility to become licensed as a registered nurse (RN). Application information and materials are available here.

The new master's program responds to changes in health care, especially the nursing shortage, by offering a way for people who already have bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees in other fields to enter nursing as a second career. (The M.N. replaces the School's post-baccalaureate program, which offered a certificate but not a degree.)
