M.S. in Nursing
The Monmouth MSN Nurse Practitioner program provides the opportunity to become an autonomous advanced practice nurse by helping you build confidence in intellectual and clinical proficiency. MSN classes are all online, mostly in an asynchronous format with some scheduled synchronous sessions. All practicum experiences are required to be performed in New Jersey.
Family Nurse Practitioner Track (43 credits)
The Family Nurse Practitioner track focuses on the care of a patient population throughout the lifespan, from newborn to older adult.
Adult-Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Track (39 credits)
To accommodate the large aging population, Adult-Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner track focuses on the care of the adult and older adult.
Post-Master’s Certificates
If you already have your MSN, you may prepare for a more advanced nursing role by earning a Post-Master’s Certificate in two disciplines:
- Family Nurse Practitioner (31 credits)
- Adult-Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (27 credits)
The faculty members in the Marjorie K. Unterberg School of Nursing and Health Studies are committed to providing students with the skills of an advanced practice nurse. Monmouth offers a personalized learning experience with one-on-one faculty interaction and a full-time placement coordinator available to help you identify preceptorship opportunities.
Monmouth prepares you to adapt to this dynamic health care environment by providing real-world experience in a variety of settings. With over 500+ clinical placements throughout the state, plus externships available with our partners Hackensack Meridian Health and Monmouth Medical Center, you have the opportunity to master the field of nursing.
Applicants must reside in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or New York, as all practicum experiences must be completed in New Jersey. The application deadline for the MSN and Post-Master’s Nursing program is July 15 for the Fall.
