Excellence in the community
Our program is selective, but student-centered, allowing you to receive more one-on-one attention from faculty. Our faculty members bring a variety of experience to the program and have strong ties to providing service to the community. They want to help you make professional connections that will last long after you graduate.
During the 4-year BSN you are able to have a traditional University experience while completing an exceptional clinical program. As a student you will complete 576 or more clinical contact hours within acute care and community settings. These hours are spent one-on-one with a faculty member or a nurse preceptor, a nursing professional to serve as teacher and mentor in this real world classroom setting. Not only are you learning, but giving back to those in need of care.
The 4-year BSN program at Missouri State has full approval of the Missouri State Board of Nursing.
