The Master of Science in Nursing program at Aurora University is designed for students who have a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing field. The comprehensive program prepares students for nursing practice and leadership roles in healthcare settings.

The curriculum combines a strong foundation that will prepare you to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam along with graduate-level coursework focused on areas such as leadership and health policy.

Our distinctive teaching environment is designed to engage students in active learning that replicates real-world settings.

You will work closely with our dedicated faculty in state-of-the-art nursing and simulation labs to develop the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in the ever-changing healthcare environment.

You will apply those skills and gain hands-on experience as you work alongside nursing faculty at top area hospitals such as Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago or Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva.

The accelerated 75-credit-hour program can be completed full time over two years, including summers.
