An accelerated combined degree program for undergraduate KSU nursing students who have completed 60 semester hours and meet the GPA requirements delineated in Combined Baccalaureate/Master’s for Degree Students Early In Their Undergraduate Studies. Qualified students may apply by completing an application for admission to the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program of choice and gaining approval from the appropriate graduate faculty program director. A plan of substituting selected master’s core courses for selected undergraduate courses should be carefully worked out with the faculty advisor. Following graduation and passing the state licensing examination (NCLEX-RN), students’ MSN application may be activated for admission into the selected master’s program.
