Degree Programs

Celebrating 40 Years of Educating Nurses 1969-2009

UCA's Department of Nursing offers Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degrees. The first class of students graduated with the bachelor degree in 1969, and 1971 was when the graduate degree was first awarded.  Graduates of the UCA nursing programs are in demand and recognized for their quality.  They serve as clinicians, administrators, and educators in Arkansas and around the  world.

If you are an intelligent individual with a caring spirit, integrity, and motivation--nursing abounds with opportunities for you.

  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)

The BSN is offered for students who are not yet Registered Nurses (RN). Within the BSN degree program, we also have a track for LPNs who wish to complete the BSN, the LPN to BSN track; a track for RNs who do not yet have their BSN, the RN to BSN track; and a track for RNs who want their BSN degree and their graduate nursing degree or the RN to BSN/MSN track.

  • Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Degree program is offered to RNs with a BSN degree. There are two majors: Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) and Nurse Practitioner (NP). Both majors prepare students to assume the role of advance practice nurse. Majors in either track can take courses to prepare for the role of Nurse Educator. For individuals who already have a MSN degree, we offer Second Degree options and Post Master's Certificates.
