The College of
Nursing offers registered nurses the opportunity to obtain a bachelor
of science (B.S.) degree with a master's degree option to accelerate
professional development. The master's degree option offers a seamless
approach that will enable registered nurses to become advanced practice
nurses with greater ease.
With the master's degree option,
graduate courses can be taken while completing the baccalaureate
degree. Rutgers-Newark B.S. degree students with a minimum 3.0 grade-point
average can earn up to 12 credits of graduate credits to meet master's
degree requirements. Selected graduate courses may be used to meet both
baccalaureate and master's degree requirements.
