Overview

With the entry level master’s in nursing, you’ll get the same one-on-one, personal attention from faculty members that you’ll give your patients. You will develop the skills you need to excel as a nurse in any specialty you choose.

Key Features

Through the Entry to Nursing Practice program from DePaul University, you’ll gain:

credentials beyond a baccalaureate nursing degree

leadership skills that will help you move into administrative, educational or advocacy roles

research expertise that hospital administrators and medical investigators value

This program is offered in two formats, both providing the same high-quality education and clinical experiences at our Lincoln Park campus. You can choose between the two-year Accelerated option or the new three-year Balanced Stride, depending on your preferred pace and level of flexibility.

The Accelerated MENP is completed in 24 consecutive months fast tracking your nursing career.

Balanced Stride spans 36 consecutive months and is designed for those with busy lives who need more flexibility in their time to completion. Cohorts are formed every spring quarter and offer students a flexible study option that allows you to pursue your nursing education while maintaining work or other personal commitments.
