Shape your future with a master’s in nursing online

Even when you can clearly picture your dream career, the wait to achieve it can feel impossible. Fortunately, with the RN-MSN online from OCU, licensed nurses with a BSN in another field can advance quickly and confidently from a role as an RN to earning their master’s degree–without a year-long nursing bachelor’s program in-between.

The only difference between the RN-MSN and standard MSN curriculum are three BSN-level classes, to be completed before RN students begin graduate-level coursework. Then, learning from the same expert faculty, you’ll take the same core MSN courses, and choose between the same three specialization options as students who enter the program with a BSN. In OCU’s online program you could earn your MSN in as few as two years.

Oklahoma City University's online MSN degree offers three distinct specialty tracks that you will choose from prior to applying to the MSN program. The unique curricula and career pathways that each program offers ensures you are best equipped for higher earning potential, have a network of career mentors most applicable to your goals, and are ready for the challenging and rewarding work within your specialization.

All MSN students will complete four core courses as the foundation of their degree. These courses cover common master’s-level competencies, skills, and knowledge required in any specialized field of nursing study.

NOTE: In addition to the coursework listed below and on the specialization pages, all master’s in nursing students are required to have completed a 3-credit-hour statistics course (no lab is required) before enrolling in the Advanced Nursing Research course. This course is a prerequisite, not a barrier to entry into the program.
