As a practicing professional, you are well aware of the dynamic changes in our highly complex healthcare system that require you to think differently about how you care for patients. You need to do more than understand a diagnosis and implement a treatment plan. You're expected to be a straightforward communicator, a thoughtful leader, an effective educator, a strong advocate for your patients and community, a contributing member of a healthcare team and much more.

Who Should Apply?

The MSN Nursing Administration Concentration was designed for you if you:

  • Are a registered nurse with a valid Massachusetts RN license
  • Have a bachelor's degree in any field
  • Seek to advance in your nursing career as an Administrator

Do you have a non-Nursing Bachelor's Degree?

Curry College offers a Pathway to MSN for Registered Nurses with a non-Nursing Bachelor's Degree.
