Course Information

WHY GET A DIRECT ENTRY NURSING MASTER’S DEGREE?

Whether you’re looking for a change or to advance your career, our direct entry Master of Nursing program will help you pursue advanced-practice nursing qualifications without a prior bachelor’s or graduate degree in the field. This program offers the clinical nurse leader (CNL) track, which will prepare you for clinical leadership roles, giving you the ability to manage and solve complex patient problems in a range of healthcare settings. You’ll work directly with clinicians to help manage the delivery of patient care, including the development and implementation of treatment plans and the evaluation of their success.

WHY GET YOUR MASTER’S DEGREE IN NURSING AT UNH?

The direct entry Master of Nursing is completed in just five semesters, including two summer sessions. You’ll complete the NCLEX-RN exam during the course of the program, achieving your license to practice as a registered nurse. In your final semester, you’ll sit for the national clinical nurse leader exam, allowing you to graduate with both a master’s degree and your CNL certification. You’ll complete an immersion experience of approximately 300 clinical hours, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the field. Full-time undergraduate students enrolled at UNH also may apply for accelerated admission to this graduate program.
