Direct Entry MSN Online Coursework and In-Person Learning Options

Our Direct Entry MSN program offers students a choice between learning online and learning in person. Our Milwaukee campus, which offers only our five-semester Direct Entry MSN program option, is predominantly in-person, with some hybrid coursework. Direct Entry MSN students enrolled at our Pleasant Prairie program site will complete nursing theory coursework through a dynamic e-learning platform. Pleasant Prairie students can complete the program at this location with a five-semester or eight-semester format.

The coursework covers advanced nursing concepts and is designed to accommodate all learners. Students can expect the same level of educational experience, regardless of location and format.

In-Person Coursework

Students who prefer face-to-face instruction with their professors may be better suited for our campus-based coursework in Milwaukee. Classes occur on a set schedule, in a traditional learning format.

You will also experience more face-to-face interaction with your peers, allowing for additional collaboration and support throughout the program.

Online Coursework

The Direct Entry MSN and Extended Option programs in Pleasant Prairie offer a predominantly online learning environment in which students participate in an interactive and engaging virtual classroom. Students complete learning activities, readings and assignments asynchronously, when it’s convenient for them. There are also opportunities to meet with faculty and students synchronously in the virtual classroom.
