BSN-MSN Program
The School of Nursing has a
program offering qualified registered nurses and
accelerated students (who have already earned a
bachelor’s degree in another field) direct
admission into both the Bachelor of Science in Nursing
and the Master of Science in Nursing programs.
BSN-MSN students must meet with their
undergraduate advisor and the graduate program director
to develop an appropriate plan of study, which is
tailored to individual interests and needs. The
length of the program varies according to transfer
credit awarded and the number of clinical courses
successfully challenged by RN return students.
Additional information is available through the
School of Nursing, Office of Academic Affairs and
online at http://www.nursing.upenn.edu/.
Dual Degree
Highly motivated students working
toward a Bachelor of Science in Nursing are eligible to
apply for admission to a dual degree program to obtain
a second bachelor’s degree from one of the other
undergraduate schools at the University of
Pennsylvania. Students interested in earning a
dual degree must meet with a nursing advisor as well as
an advisor in the appropriate school to outline courses
required for completion of the dual degree and to
discuss eligibility requirements. Students who
are interested in the dual degree option should begin
course work as soon as possible, capitalizing on sector
|
requirements and free electives.
Additional information is available in the School of
Nursing Undergraduate Handbook, online at http://www.nursing.upenn.edu/ students/handbooks/, and in the Cross School Programs section of this Bulletin.

Wharton School offer a joint degree program in Nursing
and Health Care Management through which students earn
a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of
Science in Economics. In this highly specialized
program, students gain experience in patient care as
well as in business and managerial areas. A
carefully planned, integrated academic and clinical
program allows highly qualified students to complete
this program in four to five years. Additional
information about the program is available in the
School of Nursing Undergraduate Handbook, online at http://www.nursing.upenn.edu/
