Curriculum
The MSN curriculum addresses three focal areas: the graduate nursing core, advanced clinical expertise, and role preparation. All nursing courses are taught in person with online components or as hybrids (both online and face-to-face). Registered Nurses, who have bachelor's degrees in non-nursing fields from accredited institutions recognized by Oklahoma City University and meet admission requirements, may progress directly to the MSN courses by taking the following BSN-level courses during their first semester. No other bachelor's level courses of any type are required. NURS 4403 RN-to-BSN Health AssessmentRN-to-MSN Option
