Master of Science in Nursing
Established in 1979, the Master of Science in Nursing at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ prepares nurses for advanced practice in nursing administration or education.
Yearly annual fall admission and flexible scheduling allows students to finish the master's program in two to four and a half years. Total credits vary depending on the specialization you choose. No matter your career aspirations, we have programs in a variety of formats to meet your evolving needs.
The RN to Grad program is designed to help registered nurses who have an associate's degree in nursing move ahead in their career. The program allows students in the RN to BSN program to substitute up to four graduate-level courses (12 credits) as part of the RN to BSN curriculum. This gives nurses a way to jump-start their progress towards select master's or doctoral degrees at SDSU.
Students can apply to the RN to Grad program, and admission is granted to both the RN to BSN program and the respective graduate program at the time of admission.
We love investing in the future of nursing, and that's why, thanks in a large part to our generous donors, the College of Nursing has a number of internal scholarships available for students admitted to the nursing major and graduate nursing programs. In 2025, we gave out over $468,500.
