The Master’s Entry Program in Nursing is designed for adult learners with no prior nursing experience or education and who have a baccalaureate degree or higher in a field other than nursing.  The purpose of this alternative entry program is to equip students with entry-level professional nurse competencies as a foundation for advanced practice roles.  The program consists of an intensive pre-licensure year transitioning into one of several specialty nursing pathways. Upon completing the MEPN year and specialty track, the student is awarded a Master’s in Nursing.
