Our unique curriculum
The MSN prepares students for the challenges of modern nursing through its overall emphasis on trans-cultural nursing, ethics, research and the application of knowledge and skills. All classes are taught online. However, at the beginning of each fall and spring semester, students will attend a day-and-a-half residency on our Lincoln campus to meet nursing faculty and staff, bond with colleagues and begin a course in professional communication that will be finished online.
