Brief Reminder

Transform Your Future and Be Part of Our Family!

The School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) Graduate Program tracks prepare nurses to assume advanced practice roles in their profession.

Each program track offers learners a wide range of advanced educational and clinical experiences, with the flexibility students need for their work/life balance.  Our degree programs blend the best in educational, clinical, and leadership experience with the benefit of Guaranteed Clinical Placement, available Tuition Aid and Scholarships, and rigorous preparation for National Certification, as well as eligibility to take specialty certification examinations.

The Master’s program tracks at SONHS lead to a Master’s of Science in Nursing.  Our seamless integration of state-of-the-art classroom and simulation learning with extensive clinical practice help our graduates acquire skills that will improve patient outcomes and create leaders in the healthcare community.

Alternatively, our BSN-DNP program tracks lead to a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).  The DNP is emerging as the standard for certification and licensure in advanced nursing practice.  Qualified nurse leaders are needed now more than ever to guide Health Care teams, shape future generations, and help bridge gaps in patient care.

Additionally, Post-Master’s Certificates are available for graduates who would like to gain further knowledge in advanced practice nursing. Graduates of these programs are prepared to function independently and collaboratively with health care team members to provide comprehensive health care that will maximize patient care outcomes.

Both Master’s and BSN-DNP Tracks are available for:

  • Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
  • Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
  • Family Nurse Practitioner

A Post Master’s Certificate Program is available for:

  • Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
  • Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
  • Family Nurse Practitioner
  • Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
