Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) & Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Competent. Caring. Professional. With a graduate degree in nursing from DeSales, you'll learn to be just that. Here, skills and specializations meet spiritual principles of compassionate patient care.
Our Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is designed to prepare you to respond to the complex demands of patients, health care consumers, and the modern healthcare system. At DeSales, you have the opportunity to combine the science of nursing with the best practice evidence of other disciplines—including medicine, ethics, economics, and public health. If you want to pursue a specialized area of nursing as a nurse practitioner, healthcare executive, advanced clinician, or educator, you'll find your program in the DeSales Division of Nursing.
