Welcome to the RN to MSN degree completion program site. This is offered through Madonna University’s College of Nursing and Health and provides an opportunity for Registered Nurses (RNs) with an associate or diploma degree to complete a bachelor's and master’s degree in nursing (BSN). During this journey, you earn a bachelor's degree and an Master of Science in Nursing with a specialty in Nursing Administration. Completing the MSN using this route rather than completing the BSN and MSN separately allows you to take fewer courses.

For the bachelor's portion of this program, there are eight Nursing courses. All of these courses are offered as a combination of face-to-face and online formats. The Nursing courses total 22 semester hours. Other general education and support courses are required; the number of courses and semester hours vary depending on your previous educational experiences. The MSN portion of this program contains 30 semester hours.

The RN-to-MSN degree completion program, in accordance with the College of Nursing and Health, integrates the core values of caring, wellness, professionalism, and future focus into the program. The MSN program can be used as the gateway to higher professional and educational goals. Madonna University has a long history of excellence and quality. Come learn with us.

Best Wishes,
