Requirements for the Pre-Professional entry and admission to the Professional Program can be found on our BSN page. All students must apply as part of a highly-competitive process to enter the Professional portion of the BSN program.
Master’s Entry to the Profession of Nursing (MEPN) Professional Program
The Master’s Entry to the Profession of Nursing (MEPN) Professional Program is designed for students who have already earned a non-nursing baccalaureate degree, or higher, who wish to pursue a career in nursing.
