Description & Objectives
By combining exceptional academic programs with a vibrant research enterprise, a strong
outreach program, and opportunities to study abroad, the Penn State School of Nursing provides
a rich, diverse educational experience to future professional and advanced practice nurses, nurse
researchers, and nurse educators. This experience is grounded in a student-centered environment
with small student-to-faculty ratios which allow students to develop strong, supportive
relationships with their professors and with each other. Leadership opportunities also exist
through programs such as the Women’s Leadership Initiative or organizations such as the
Student Nurse Association of Pennsylvania.
Duration:
16 months
Admission Requirements:
The Second Degree program is an intensive sixteen-month program open to individuals who
already have a bachelor’s degree in another field. Students will complete 120 credits, comprised
of 60 credits in general education and prerequisite courses (completed in the first degree
program, prior to admission) and 60 credits in second degree program. Students with
prerequisites to complete may apply to complete these through Penn state's Post-Baccalaureate
Premedical Certificate Program. For students beginning the Second Degree program in the fall,
all prerequisites must be complete by the end of the preceding spring semester.
