What is Cohort Study?
As a student in the Curry College MSN Program, you will be part of a cohort group. That means that the same students will be in all of your classes for the entire program, start to finish. Cohort group learning has proven to be very effective for adult learners because it creates a community of professionals who can study together, provide support, discuss common on-the-job problems, and offer networking opportunities.
Choose the schedule that fits your needs:
Milton: 8-wk schedule, taking one course at a time on Mondays from 5:30-8:30 pm; 2 year completion with a 6-week winter break; program begins in January
Plymouth: 8-wk schedule, taking one course at a time on Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30pm ; 3 year completion with summers off
All classes are delivered in a hybrid model -- blending in-classroom lectures with online learning.

Curry College's Nursing Administration curriculum emphasizes what it takes to lead healthcare organizations focused on quality, efficiency and excellence in the practice of patient care. Next-generation Nurse Administrators keep current with technological advances and emerging medical knowledge while minimizing errors. Administrators must also know how to use leadership skills, evidence-based practice and decision analysis to anticipate risks, understand technology and maintain patient safety. Integral to the curriculum, the practicum experience allows students to apply skills learned in the classroom. Through the capstone experience, students collaborate with faculty on a focused scholarly project and broaden their understanding of a contemporary leadership issue. When you pursue your MSN at Curry College, you'll enhance your strategic leadership skills and acquire the necessary tools for career success as a leader in your field.
