Nursing

The purpose of the graduate nursing program is to prepare students for specializations in roles that are increasingly essential for health care systems. Emphasis on the development of the whole person is conveyed in the call to provide our graduates with a breadth and depth of knowledge, skills and values, while preparing them to continually further their education. The goals of the graduate program are to prepare graduates for specialization as adult nurse practitioners and administrators, and to develop leaders in the profession who are able to advance standards and create change for quality health care.

So many features set our program apart from other nurse practitioner graduate programs—including our emphasis on the development of the whole person, which means helping you build the breadth and depth of expertise necessary to approach each patient with a unique perspective. From our experienced faculty to our state-of-the-art labs and facilities, you’ll have the tools and support you need to earn your master’s in nursing and propel your nursing career to new heights:

Learn from healthcare experts. Thanks to the small class sizes in our M.S. in Nursing program, you’ll receive personalized attention from faculty mentors who bring their decades of experience as educators and practitioners into their classrooms.
Work in cutting-edge labs. When you earn your MSN degree at Saint Peter’s, you’ll get to learn and study in our newly renovated simulation labs, which are available at all times with instructor assistance on-site.
Receive individual advising. Saint Peter’s University assigns an academic adviser from within the School of Nursing for every student in our nurse practitioner graduate programs, ensuring that you are supported every step of the way.
