Master of Science in Nursing

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) – Nurse Educator program prepares students to practice as nurse managers, leaders and providers of care both as teachers in schools of nursing and in healthcare settings. The program’s unique format enables Thomas Edison State College BSN degree graduates to apply the nine (9) graduate credits earned in the BSN program to the MSN degree. The program is open to registered nurses who already possess a BSN. All MSN graduates receive a Nurse Educator Certificate upon completing the program, in addition to the diploma. The MSN is a 36-credit program.
