Bridge Program-Nursing (Master's)

Loyola University New Orleans offers the online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program with a specialization in Health Care Systems Management (HCSM) to RNs without a bachelor's degree in nursing. An RN who has a non-nursing bachelor's degree may be admitted to Loyola's MSN program without obtaining a BSN degree. To be admitted to the MSN program, the RN must complete Loyola's MSN Bridge program which is now offered online.

The online bridge program is composed of integrated upper division, undergraduate nursing courses that serve as prerequisites to 700-level (graduate) nursing courses. This 6-credit bridge program covers important themes including leadership, health promotion, community, and professional development.
