MNSc Admissions

The UAMS College of Nursing offers three options in the Master of Nursing Science program:

MNSc Program

The MNSc program prepares nurses for advanced nursing practice in a specialized field which includes Nursing Administration.

Post-Master’s Completion

The Post-Master’s Completion program allows students who have already earned a master’s degree in nursing to take complete the requirements to sit for an additional certification exam in another field.
