Bachelor of Science in Nursing

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree prepares students to assume leadership roles within their organization and prepares them to enter graduate programs. The pre-licensure option prepares students enter the nursing profession as a registered nurse.

Doctor of Nursing Practice

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares nurses for a career as a nurse practitioner or provides an opportunity for APRNs to advance their careers. The program offers the following full-time BSN to DNP clinical options:

• Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• Family Nurse Practitioner
• Nurse Anesthesia

An MSN to DNP option is available for APRNs who hold a master’s degree and meet other program admission requirements.

The call to serve your patient community is what first led you to nursing, and that same dedication to patient care is what drives you to continue advancing your career. If you’re motivated to make meaningful contributions as a nurse leader, The University of Tulsa’s online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program prepares you with practical knowledge to help you make a real difference.
