MS in Nursing
Earning your Master of Science in Nursing degree from Houston Christian University will allow you to master the skills and knowledge necessary to take on new and expanded roles as a nurse. HCU offers four program options to choose from:
- Pediatric Nurse Practitioner – Primary Care (PNP-PC)
- Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)
- MSN in Nurse Education
- MSN in Nurse Leadership
Offered through the School of Nursing and Allied Health, HCU’s Master of Science in Nursing programs allow BSN prepared nurses with a Texas Board of Nursing license to earn their degree without having to travel to class.*
*The MSN programs require two one-day sessions on campus for orientation and skills training. Site orientation occurs the Friday prior to classes starting. This provides an opportunity to meet the faculty, get a university student card that can be used for discounts, provide hands on learning of the various programs utilized in the MSN, review program expectations, and give an opportunity for students to answer questions.
