The Department of Nursing offers programs leading to the degrees of Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) and an RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN). LPNs may apply for advanced standing in ASN nursing courses, thus shortening their program of study by approximately twelve (12) semester credits.

Students who have completed the RN (ASN) program successfully are eligible to sit for the NCLEX exam. MSU Northern and the Department of Nursing are proud to announce that our students have been very successful in passing the State Boards.
