Master of Science in Nursing
The Master of Science in Nursing prepares students for a specialty focus to expand their career options. The program is designed to foster interdisciplinary collaborative skills and independent functioning within a focused specialty area, called an M.S. concentration. Current M.S. concentrations are Nursing Leadership, School Nursing, Nurse Educator and Women’s Health Care. Within the Women’s Health Care concentration, students will choose an emphasis as either a nurse midwife or women’s health nurse practitioner. The Nursing Leadership, School Nursing and Women’s Health Care concentrations are flexible, allowing for either full-time or part-time study. High quality resources, both on and off campus, are available for the M.S. concentrations. Application Deadlines
The Graduate Nursing program accepts applications for the fall semester only.
The CSUF application period opens the previous Oct. 1, and closing date depends on enrollment across the campus. It is best to apply as soon as applications are open. Applications may be accessed online at: calstate.edu/apply.
All nursing concentrations have a priority deadline of Feb. 1. Applications received after that date will be considered on a space available basis until the program is full or the university closes admissions.
