Students will begin studies in their chosen specialty. Refer to MS Degree section for complete information for each specialty.
At the time of application, you will be asked to select a specialty area which will largely determine your future as an advanced practice nurse. This is a critical decision and should be made with great care as you will not be allowed to change once you have been admitted to a given specialty.
