About the RN to MS Program
This program is for registered nurses who desire to obtain a Master's of Science degree with a major in nursing. If you are a registered nurse with a prior non nursing bachelor's degree please go to the Post Baccalaureate RN MS Program. (If you are not a registered nurse please go to the Bachelor of Science (BS) Program.).
The Texas Woman's University College of Nursing offers registered nurses holding an associate degree or diploma from a nationally accredited program an opportunity to enroll in a program leading to a master of science degree with a major in nursing. Various specialty tracks are offered in advanced practice, nurse educator, and nursing administration.
Students accepted into the RN MS Program can complete their baccalaureate degree at the end of one year of full time study with 10 credit hours (3 courses) completed toward the master's degree. Depending on the master's specialty chosen, the master's degree can be completed in an additional 18 months of full-time study. Students may elect to complete the program on a part-time basis.
Qualified students will be accepted provisionally by the Graduate School into the RN MS Program. Once the bachelor's degree is conferred the student will advance to unconditional admission status in the Graduate School. Students in this program are subject to policies of the College of Nursing Master's Program and Graduate School at Texas Woman's University.
