Graduate
Salem State's School of Nursing offers several graduate programs.
Master of Science in Nursing
For current registered nurses with a bachelor's degree, the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) offers study in current and developing theory, preparation for leadership roles in nursing, a foundation for doctoral studies, and more.
MSN/MBA
If your goals are geared toward nursing adminstration, the MSN/MBA combines advanced preparation in nursing with a firm foundation of business skills to prepare you for leadership in today's complex health care system.
Direct Entry MSN
For career changers with a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field, the Direct Entry MSN immerses you in an intensive, accelerated and full-time program. Successful completion of this 15-month program enables you to sit for the RN licensing exam. Once licensed, you can work as a nurse while pursuing your graduate degree.
RN/MSN
The RN/MSN is a flexible program of study for the registered nurse who does not have a baccalaureate degree in nursing or other field of study. Students are admitted directly into the RN/MSN program and should be able to complete their MSN degree in a minimum of 4 1/2 years of part-time study.
Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education
The Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education consists of four courses, all offered for academic credit. Applicants must have a minimum of a master's degree in nursing to enter the program.
