Master of Science [M.S] [Family Nurse Practitioner] From Texas State University

The MSN program is a 21 month (5 semester, 48 credit hour) lockstep program in which registered nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree advance their skills to the entry level for certification as a Nurse Practitioner and licensure as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. Instruction will be an online format with required on campus learning experiences two weekends per semester at the St. David?s School of Nursing in Round Rock. The on-campus learning experiences will augment the online course work and allow assessment of students to ensure that advanced level competencies have been met. Of the 48 semester hours required, 10 hours are allotted to practicum courses.
