Next admission deadline for ALL NURSE PRACTITIONER tracks is February 1 for Summer or Fall 2010. 
We will accept applications for the Nurse Educator program Spring 2010.  That application deadline is September 1.

The School of Nursing offers an accredited degree program with a variety of concentration options for master's students:

All on-line programs are assessed resident fees for students who hold current licensure as a registered nurse in the United States and are eligible for licensure in the state of Missouri, no matter the number of credit hours. All on-line programs have a minimum of one 3-4 day on-site visit during clinical rotations. Some on-line courses have on-site or on-line meeting times. The outreach programs have several on-line courses.

Faculty and staff are committed to providing the highest quality graduate education in an interactive environment.
