*During the semester that the student is completing the undergraduate nursing bridge courses, the student will meet with an advisor to review all requirements to complete the transition into the Masters program. Based on guidance by the advisor, students will be required to submit an additional application to the College of Nursing and provide three letters of recommendation, a copy of resume or curriculum vita, and other materials as required. Students may also be required to have an interview with a faculty member within their master’s concentration. Students will choose a Master’s concentration and will complete additional courses based on that concentration. See the graduate catalog for a list of Master’s concentrations and associated graduate course requirements.
